Before reading this article, I already knew that your sleeping schedule can make you sick. A lack of sleep can cause irrational behavior and can make you lash out. However, sometimes it is hard to get a good amount of sleep with the busy life that some people live. Something I learned in this article is that traveling can have an impact on your circadian rhythm, which in turn affects how much you sleep. They say that traveling if you travel east you need morning light and evening melatonin and when traveling west you need morning melatonin and evening light. The reason for this is so that time zones do not affect your circadian rhythm as much. I sometimes deal with depression and according to this article., waking up in a room with a window facing where the sun rises can help with depression. In a study that they did, people got released from a facility faster if their room faced the sun because the light helped with their depression. People's whose rooms did not face the sun were kept longer because their symptoms were not cured as fast.
Keys to life with health being the main one.
