Start the winter day full of energy: light as the key – tips from Torsten Liem

In this insightful video, Torsten Liem gives valuable advice on how to start the day energized and focused during the winter months. He emphasizes how crucial light is, especially sunlight, which is often scarce during the winter. He recommends spending time outdoors in the morning as soon as you get up – walking or jogging – and actively observing the sky. If this is not feasible, Liem advises using a daylight lamp with at least 10,000 lux for about 20 minutes a day. This practice helps to reduce the production of the sleep hormone, which leads to more alertness and makes it easier to fall asleep in the evening. At the same time, the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone, is stimulated. Liem emphasizes that normal room light of 300 to 500 lux is insufficient and presents these simple yet effective methods to increase your well-being during the winter months.
