“By viewing light at the wrong time of the day. So, let's say if you were under an ideal natural conditions, you're a person who would sleep later than me. Let's say we'll sleep at midnight and wake up at 8:00 a.m.. Let's say you don't eat anything till noon, and as you said, you eat late in the evening. Then this would be perfect for you, but now see what happens if now you include the light component. Now, if you push your sleep from midnight to 4:00 a.m., now you're waking up in the morning and you're actually really not the morning... You're working, I'm sorry, at noon instead of eight o'clock, and the time where you're not supposed to be hungry, now you're going to start eating directly at noon or something like that, or even delay it. And now you're shifting your whole cycle. And you don't know if this interaction between your sleep, feeding and the light-dark environment are still going to be maintained or not.”
“it's everything from our lack of exposure to high-quality bright blue light in the morning - too much bright blue light later on in the in the evening you know that's just screwing with our with our internal clocks”
