Begin with gentle signals
Your nervous system responds best to gradual transitions. A calm start can help regulate energy levels and reduce early stress.
- Wake up at a consistent time.
- Expose your eyes to natural light early.
- Drink water before caffeine.
Layer movement and nourishment
Light movement and balanced nutrition help the body shift into an alert but stable state without sharp energy spikes.
- Do 5–10 minutes of gentle movement.
- Eat a breakfast with protein and fiber.
- Avoid rushing the first hour if possible.
