The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
early morning and all day bright, light exposure as safely as you can, ideally from sunlight, not through a window, et cetera, avoiding bright light in the middle of the night, extremely important for mood offsetting, metabolic dysfunction, et cetera.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
look at low solar angle sunlight early in the day what that does is it what call it as phase advances the clock translate to English or non-nerd speak you're making it such that you will want to go to bed a little bit earlier and wake up a little bit earlier the next day
when the sun is low in the Sky low solar angle sunlight that's really the key time for reasons we'll talk about in a moment and when the sun is low in the sky you run very very little risk of inducing cataract by looking in the general direction of the sun
what that does is it what call it as phase advances the clock... you're making it such that you will want to go to bed a little bit earlier and wake up a little bit earlier the next day
and you are sending the primordial evolutionarily conserved robust signal to your brain the day is starting you're going to activate a huge number of different endocrine neural and other systems immune functions in the body
all species have a dedicated system in the eye and brain to extract the specific qualities of light that are present at early in the day low solar angle sunlight and again in the evening low solar angle sunlight to convert that into neural and hormone signals that the brain can understand
those cones and in particular the the short wavelength responsive cones the BL AK blue light and the longer wavelength the Reds the orange they converge in terms of driving the activation of those cells those melanopsin cells and they activate those cells robustly early in the day meaning when you see contrast between blue and orange or blue and red which is istic of low solar angle sunlight you are driving those the activation of those intrinsically photosensitive gangling cells the most and you are sending the primordial evolutionarily conserved robust signal to your brain the day is starting you're going to activate a huge number of different endocrine neural and other systems immune functions in the body
