Scientists Found the Perfect Way to Wake Up

Want to feel more alert in the morning? Letting in natural sunlight 20 minutes before your alarm could be the game-changer you need.

Do you have a system like this, and is it worth it?  A study found waking up to a little sunlight can make a big difference.  But you need automatic curtains to do it right.

Researchers in Japan found we wake up feeling less groggy and more alert if we let in a little sun exactly 20 MINUTES before our alarm goes off.

Opening your curtains after you’re up doesn’t do it.  And unless you’re waking up right after dawn, leaving them open all night can actually make things worse.

They found 20 minutes before your alarm is the sweet spot.  So automatic curtains are the only practical solution for most people.

You can buy gadgets now for $150 to $200 that work on a timer and make your existing curtains automatic.

The study found sunrise alarm clocks that use artificial light don’t work as well.  Natural sunlight is best.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
