Sarah Kleiner shares spring-focused circadian and lifestyle guidance for supporting metabolism and skin as daylight increases, addressing FAQs after the time change. She recommends morning strategies for those up before sunrise—hydration, light movement, grounding, a protein-and-fat breakfast, and optional brief red light therapy—plus getting outdoor light as soon as possible and using her Circadian app’s lux session timer. She discusses researched morning lux thresholds and emphasizes low evening lux (under 10) and a dark sleep environment to protect melatonin, along with keeping food about three hours away from bedtime. For skin and vitamin D, she advises gradual, sequential sun exposure (sunrise through UVA/UVB), building a “solar callus,” using the app’s vitamin D timer, and avoiding burns, with notes on nutrition, astaxanthin foods, shade benefits, and optional cold exposure.
