Problem
A bedroom that gets no morning light leaves you waking in darkness and makes the shift from sleep into the day harder than it needs to be. Waking sluggishly throws off the natural rhythm of the whole morning.
Solution
Orient the sleeping rooms toward the east, so the rising sun reaches into the room each morning and draws the body gently and naturally out of sleep.
