Morning Energy Protocol
A brisk activation to start the day awake.
Duration
3 min
Level
02
Evidence
Why this protocol
Faster nasal breathing engages the sympathetic branch briefly, releasing noradrenaline and raising body temperature. The controlled rhythm keeps arousal in the useful range and avoids full-blown stress activation.
