So the sun is just peeking through the clouds or it's more dense cloud cover . You want to get about 10 minutes of sunlight exposure to your eyes early in the day and on days that are really densely overcast or maybe even a rainy , you're going to want to get as much as 20 or 30 minutes of sunlight exposure . Another key thing is do not forget about , just don't try and get this sunlight exposure through a windshield of a car or a window , whether or not it's tinted or otherwise , it takes far too long .
In fact , I encourage you to blink whenever you feel the impulse to blink , never look at any light sunlight or otherwise , that's so bright that it's painful to look at because you can damage your eyes . But for this morning sunlight viewing , it's best to not wear sunglasses . That's right to not wear sunglasses .
However , if the sun is a little bit brighter and a little bit higher in the sky , sometimes it could be painful to look at . So the way to get this sunlight viewing early in the day is to look toward the sun . If it's too bright to look at directly , well , then don't do that .
There's so many different wavelengths of light coming from the sun and they are bright enough that they will trigger the mechanisms that you want triggered at this early time of day . So try and get outside ideally within the first five minutes of waking or maybe it's 15 minutes , but certainly within the first hour after waking , I wanna share with you three critical things about this tool of morning sunlight viewing . First of all , this is not some wu biology thing .
That's right to not wear sunglasses . At least for this morning sunlight viewing , it is absolutely fine to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses so called corrective lenses . In fact , those will serve you well in this practice or this tool because they will focus the light onto your neural retina and onto those melanin intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells .
