Reasons Why Watching the Sunrise is Good for you

Here are ten benefits to watching the sunrise. Even if you live in an urban environment — as more than half of the world’s population does today — you can still walk outside and find a good angle to watch sunlight first appear. At Camping Veliko Tarnovo you can see the sunrise clearly and easily.

Reduces inflammation

We’ve all witnessed a breathtaking sunrise or sunset. These moments contribute to a feeling of awe, which research has shown has an anti-inflammatory effect in the body.

One study found that feeling positive emotions — especially the awe we feel from nature, art, or spiritual experiences — is linked to lower levels of pro-inflammatory proteins that cue the immune system to work harder.

Improves mood

 Research shows a direct link between sunlight and seretonin the body’s feel-good chemical.

When sunlight stimulates the retinas in your eyes, it triggers your brain to produce serotonin. In contrast, a lack of sunlight can contribute to depression as is seen in seasonal defective disorder.

Vitamin D is also important for mood, as it plays a role in serotonin production and release. About 50 – 90 % of vitamin D is absorbed through the skin via exposure to sunlight. To get enough vitamin D, experts recommend 20 minutes of daily sunshine with over 40% of the skin exposed.

Promotes healthy Sleep rhythm

Exposing yourself to early morning light helps develop a healthy sleep rhythm allowing you to get better rest at night.

A study found that people who were exposed to more light in the morning (8am to noon) fell asleep more quickly at night and had fewer sleep disturbances compared to those who were exposed to less light.

Reduces stress

There is a lot of evidence that being in nature for just a few minutes can reduce stress.

One review found that it takes as little as 10 minutes in a natural setting for college students to feel happier and reduce the effects of stress both physically and mentally.

Time away from devices

We spend a good chunk of our days on our phones and computers. Carving out a little time every morning for nature allows us to take a much-needed break from these devices.

Restores attention

A theory called Attention Restoration Theory suggests that spending time in nature, or even just looking at it, can reduce mental fatigue and boost concentration.

The theory posits that the brain can only focus on a specific stimulus or task for a limited amount of time. But exposure to the natural environment promotes more effortless brain function and allows your brain to recover and restore its ability to concentrate.

Puts life into perspective

Just like witnessing a beautiful mountain range or a dramatic thunderstorm, there’s something magical about watching the sun rise or set.

These moments help put things in perspective and remind us of the bigger picture. Even our problems seem minuscule when viewing them from a bird’s-eye view.

Contributes to a healthy routine

What could be better than starting off your morning with a colorful sunrise? This practice allows you to start the day with a calm and peaceful vibe. And if you make it a daily habit, it can contribute to a regular routine, which in turn contributes to a healthy lifestyle.

Many reasons why you should see these amazing sunrises for the early bird at Camping Veliko Tarnovo.
