“viewing bright light from about 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM too often triggers activation of this circuit called the habenula So this is eye to It goes from your retina to a structure called the habenula H-A-B-E-N-U-L-A Then from the habenula to some of this reward circuitry and it suppresses the activation of the reward. Circuitry, not just in that moment, but to things that you normally positively anticipate and pursue.”
