Full transcript

Hi, I'm Mr. Age. Barefoot on the sand, ten minutes after sunrise. Get outside within an hour of waking and let real daylight hit your eyes — no sunglasses. This is what sets your circadian clock for the next 24 hours: better mood by nine, real sleepiness by ten at night. Ten minutes of morning sun, no sunglasses, and your whole day runs on time.
