Why the ‘Dutch Method’ Is the Spring Sleep You Need

You might have never heard of the ‘Dutch Method,’ but if you’ve ever visited the Netherlands during spring, you may have noticed, despite the light and bright early mornings, a distinct lack of closed blinds and curtains.

While we’re hardwired to hide away from natural light when we rest, the Dutch Method, instead, welcomes it, using it to slowly wake the body each morning. The results are simple, yet effective: A regulated circadian rhythm, deeper rest, and more daytime energy when you wake.
