Why raving at sunrise is so epic
If you’ve ever managed to make it through the night and witness the epic sight of the sun rising, you’ll know how magical it is. You’ve spent all night at an outdoor party, festival dancefloor or club, powering through, knowing that you’re going to witness one of the most awe-inspiring and uplifting parts of the day.
Watching the sun rise can be a powerful experience, especially after an all-nighter. Here’s why raving at sunrise is so epic…
IT’S LIKE A REWARD FROM NATURE
You’ve been in amongst it all night, at times maybe flagging and wishing you could go home. But when that first glimmer of sun starts to appear over the horizon, you feel like you’ve been gifted a special prize for putting in such a long shift.
IT’S SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO GIVE YOU ENERGY
Watching a sunrise triggers the production of dopamine in the brain – the neurotransmitter associated with motivation and pleasure. Serotonin is also produced in sunlight. So you’ll feel uplifted and ready to carry on raving for another few hours, and be able to drift off better when you eventually make it to bed.
SUNRISE TRIGGERS AWE AND WONDER
The majesty of nature and its beauty is a key factor in the power of sunrise. Awe and wonder are feelings that promote positive psychological effects, improving your wellbeing and general outlook. For a moment, you might forget all your worries and feel connected to something far greater than yourself.
A SENSE OF COLLECTIVE ACHIEVEMENT
That feeling of “we made it” is a feeling like no other. You’ve gone through the night with your crew, all the way to the dawn of a brand new day. Cue group hugs and emotional outpourings as you witness the stunning emergence of sunlight on the horizon. And if you’re at a festival, sometimes it's all the encouragement you need to go for a few more hours.
