Day 5: Get Some Sunlight

Sit or stand in the sun for 20 minutes while you go through your morning routine, eating breakfast, checking the news, or exercising. You can go outside, sit by a window, or use a bright lamp, light box, red light, or LED light if the sun isn't out or is hard to get to. "It's important to get your vitamin D and also some exposure to sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythm and boost mood," Dr. Ho said. "Even 20 minutes of indirect sunlight through a window is helpful."
