Sunlight exposure should ideally occur within the first two hours of waking, or from a 10,000 lux light source if natural sunlight is not available.

“10K Lux light will definitely help you wake up faster at that time.”

“10000Lux light best for pre-dawn wake up.”

“and/or viewing a 10K Lux light (no affiliation, many out there) in first 60min after waking”

“And if you live in a cave use a daylight simulator. Or other bright light. In the am.”

“Ideally you’re getting that sunlight in your eyes in the first two hours but if you can’t, you’re getting it from artificial source like a 10,000 lux light.”

“If it’s dark where you live, consider using a 10K lux light (I have no affiliations to any; shop for price).”

“looking at one in the morning to make a really big difference.”

“It’s not as good as sunlight, but it will work well enough until the sun comes up.”

“if you want more bright light, you can always use a 10,000 Lux artificial light. Same goes for if you wake up before the sun comes out.”

“10,000 lux lights that you buy will definitely help you wake up in the morning if you get up before the sunrise or if it’s very dark out for some other reason.”

“If there’s no sun out 10,000 lux light is your friend.”

“If I want to be awake, I might turn on a 10,000lux light, which you can buy on Amazon or something like that.”

“And so if you want to travel with something like that, you can use that in your hotel room to wake up when you like.”

“and if you can't get that, use artificial light, okay?”

“A good number to shoot for as a rule of thumb, is to try and get exposure to at least 100,000 lux before 9:00 AM. 10:00 AM maybe, but before 9:00 AM assuming you're waking up sometime between five and 8:00 AM.”

“Artificial lights throughout the day, or if you want to be awake and you wake up early and there's no sunlight outside, you can of course turn on artificial lights if you want to be awake but basically you want as much bright light, ideally from sunlight, coming in through your eyes throughout the day.”

“if you need to get more light in your eyes because indeed there's just not enough sunlight or you don't have the opportunity to get outside and view sunlight in the morning for whatever reason you might invest in getting a bright light source that you can plug in you probably want one that's as bright as 10,000 lucks so that's pretty bright those fall under the category of so-called sad lamps sad Seasonal effective disorder lamps”

“ideally from sunlight. If not sunlight, 10,000 lux artificial light as we discussed earlier.”

“light first thing in the am, either the sun or 10000 lux light to strengthen circadian rhythm”

“wake up, light in eyes - 10k lux or sunlight”

“then light in the eyes first thing, either a 10000 lux device or the sun, whichever you prefer.”

“+ 10000 lux or sun in eyes in am”

“wake up, light in eyes (10k lux or sun)”

“this is 10,000 Lux at 12 in I I turn this on and I usually just enjoy thinking about the day for a minute I just get a few minutes of exposure I wake up normally when it's dark outside and so I can't see the Sun and so in place of the sun I'll use this device”

“Because I wake up before the sun, I turn on this 10,000 lux light first thing. It helps mimic natural sunlight and signal to my body that it's daytime. This helps set my circadium rhythm, the internal clock that controls things like energy levels, alertness, and hormone production during the day.”

“If you're absolutely in a very dreary place, you can use a light box. There are like 10,000 lux plus light boxes you can use in your house in the morning to entrain your circadian rhythm.”

“So I think, I mean, if you look at the studies, once you get over a sort of, you know, about 5,000 to 10,000 lux, you can have a pretty powerful effect.”
