Imagine your body is like a sleepy dragon that wakes up when the sun comes out. In the morning, it feels refreshed and ready to play. That’s why you feel more motivated, because your body is saying, 'It's time to start the day!'
The Magic of Light
When the sun shines in your room, it tells your brain it's time to be awake. This light helps your brain make a special chemical called cortisol, which gives you energy and makes you feel more alert.
Why You Feel Tired at Night
At night, when it gets dark, your body starts producing another chemical called melatonin, which makes you sleepy. So, the cycle of light and darkness helps control how we feel during the day.
