44. Go Camping or Sleep in the Great Outdoors
Getting outside for a camping trip or a night under the stars is not only fun, but it has many positive health benefits. Our bodies are fueled by something called a “circadian rhythm“, which we’ll talk more about later. This circadian rhythm is what determines our body clock. The brain produces sleep-inducing chemicals after the sun sets. At sunrise, the opposite occurs. Today’s late nights and early mornings can throw this out of whack. By going camping or sleeping in the great outdoors, you can set your sleep cycle to follow the natural rhythm of day and night, including the rising and setting of the sun.
