I used to be super wired at night (literally 10pm was peak work/idea hour)
and it took me like 4 hours to actually feel "awake" in the morning.
My wife put me onto light health as something I was completely neglecting, and the problem is gone... this is all i did.

A good nights sleep starts in the morning. So glad you shared this! Small habits make a big difference
Peak activity at 10pm ? Sound totally like me. Problem is until 9.30-10pm I have no time to do thing I want to, so of course I'm at peak when I do thing I enjoy the most. The very rate times I'm alone at home and not working on my fiat job, I can do shitload of stuff I like in a day. But normal day I have to work until 5.30 it 6pm, then take care of kids, homework, housework, cooking, cleaning, preparing next day, so I'm only free to do stuff alone late. And weekend I enjoy my free day time with my family.
your patterns WILL imprint on your children ❤️🔥
i’ve worked with families who usually stayed up till 1am together for all the same reasons- where after just a few new tricks similar to these, found themselves getting to bed around 10pm within just 2 months and no interventions or heavy talks with the kids. TEENAGERS too!
of course, every family is different though,
the possibility only dies when your hope does 🕊️🤍
these simple tricks have done so much healing for the many lovely folks i’ve worked with over the years. how sweet it is, that the first principles of health are so damn easy. 😌
Same here, definitely a night owl 🦉
I use red lights throughout the house after 8:30 p.m. and wear the glasses. The difference is phenomenal in sleep. Also have you noticed how much your pupils dilate wearing the glasses? It's very relaxing for the brain
so true. when working with adolescents and young adults, just this trick alone has provided so MUCH relief to mental burdens and illnesses. early in my practice, it lead me to believe that all mental dis-order comes from in proper light signaling 🥴
with more years of experience now, i’m quite sure of it.
Helpful info - thanks Guy.
Curious about your thoughts on Dr. Jack Kruse. On one hand, his work on circadian biology makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, he’s pretty overweight so I’m not sure how much I trust his health advice.
Where do you stand on this?
Don’t know him. But I’d say knowing some information or knowledge doesn’t mean you make all the right decisions or that you know another related topic well (like nutrition). I’d be curious what his stances are on that.
But again, I don’t know him so can’t really say.
Fair enough. If you have some time, you should look into Dr. Kruse. His series with Robert Breedlove is dense, but well done.
Im not under assumption that a little fat is unhealthy. In fact i think its necessary. So i dont care. Stay mobile and thats what matters. If im as old as jack and still here its a good day.
Started using orange/red glasses at night. After a month I could quit my normal prescription glasses for screenwork 😳
Amazing!
I drank 10 beers got to sleep at 3am woke up at 7:30am, do not feel tired just a little headache. Btw. I use the noblue flickrfree lightbulbs and like them!
Hahaha well whatever works for you 😆
Any cannabis mixed in there?
probably
at this point my wife and I will try literally any holistic health trend. red light, sunlight, seed oils, tallow, organ meat, Wim hof, microplastics, wireful headphones, etc, etc. just tell us mainstream medicine disapproves and we are good to go 👍
Yes dude, the blue light is messing with everyone's sleep cycles. I need to get back on to my blue blockers. 🫂🤙

I like E-ink readers at night
Don't forget to sort the nnemf's you get in the dark and in the light.
Another testimony for those pushing it off. Thank you.
This sounds like a paid promotion to me.
I think only the first step (getting light exposure in the morning) has any real effect.
You should really look into melatonin production and light then, imo.
So you are saying you lost your peak productivity/ideas time?
That’s correct, now I’m just tired all the time 🤣🤣
Same here 😅 I always had 10pm as the hour when I'm the most productive, smartest, I could solve issues that I was struggling with the whole day... Now with baby, I'm just constantly tired. The good thing about that is that jetlag doesn't affect me, since I'm always tired anyway.
