How you wake up shapes your day. Anadi Sharma, a yoga and healing expert, explains that harsh alarms jolt the nervous system, triggering panic and disrupting natural rhythms. In contrast, waking with sunlight aligns the body's cortisol, mood, and digestion, fostering energy and focus. “Sunlight is physiological, not artificial,” Sharma says, emphasizing its role in resetting internal clocks. Dr. Sudhir Kumar, from Apollo Hospitals, warns that alarms spike blood pressure by 74%, especially after poor sleep, raising heart attack and stroke risks.

Over time, a consistent wake-up routine can train your body to rise naturally, leaving you refreshed. Ditching the alarm restores alignment, enhances relationships, and sharpens focus. By embracing sunlight and routine, you reclaim your body's rhythm, transforming mornings into a foundation for vitality and balance.
