The majority of the ceiling in our room is made of glass so, as much as I’ll set an alarm just in case, the sunshine wakes me up — usually at about 6am. In the dark of winter it’s obviously a little trickier, but I feel that waking up with the sun is such a nervous-system-soothing way to start the day right.
Priority number one is always to roll over and plant a smooch on my husband Chris’s forehead. Heart happy. Oxytocin maxxed out. Then we can attack the day.
