Morning Routine Science

Meaning

Morning Routine Science is the evidence-based application of specific, timed behaviors immediately upon waking to positively phase-shift the circadian rhythm, optimize neuroendocrine function, and establish a state of sustained alertness. This practice is crucial for initiating the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) and suppressing residual nocturnal melatonin, thereby maximizing daytime energy and cognitive performance. A scientifically optimized morning routine acts as a powerful zeitgeber, signaling to the body’s internal clock that the active period has begun, which is foundational for hormonal stability.
