This morning trick can lift your winter blues

The first thing you should do in the morning for a scientifically better day is step outside and get some light exposure within the first hour of waking up, says Dr. Trisha Pasricha, a physician and scientist at Harvard Medical School and the Ask A Doctor columnist at The Washington Post. That bright morning light is going to help you sleep better later, and randomized controlled trials have also shown it can improve alertness, productivity and depression. This is big, especially right now when a lot of people are dealing with seasonal affective disorder. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube: https://wapo.st/2QOdcqK
