If you can, try your very best to ensure your sleep is undisturbed!😁
From the files, "You don’t say"… 😉
This story and paper are unusual to the centralized healthcare paradigm but they are obvious to decentralized MDs. The human body plan and brain have more melanopsin and melanin on it than any mammal on the planet. This tells us we are exquisitely light-sensitive both day and night. The key is understanding what type of light, its frequency, and when we should use it. This relatively new study had people sleeping with IV needles inserted into their circulatory system during sleep to get blood measurements, while they recorded brain waves, and they recorded heart rates, and waveforms. The results were no surprise to me.
It confirms something that I’ve been teaching for two decades: even a small amount of artificial light at the wrong time of the day, like the amount from street lights leaking around your curtains, or your iPhone, or your wireless earbuds, or an Oura ring, is bad for you.
The effect of light on our sleep is so profound that I've recommended blue blockers from . The discount code is Light20.
The difference in my patient's sleep, all mammals, has been profound by eliminating man-made light. This is part of a melanin renovation Rx that one must consider.
The small amount of light raised the blood sugar, insulin levels, and hemoglobin A1c, lowered vasopressin, altered immune cell functioning, and raised the heart rate of healthy young people while ruining HRV. The results were astounding.
Another older study found that the same amount of light increased depression by 69% in a study of 800 Japanese men.
Here’s what to do today:
-see the sunrise and sunset even if the time is small.
-unplug or tape over every source of light in your room
-Get real light-blocking curtains and don't use an electric shade
-Put velcro around the edges of your curtains, so zero light gets in
-use sleep masks if you must
-do not charge anything within 30 ft of your bed
-The best Melanin Renovation Rx is done where there is light stability and the transition from IR-A/blue to IR-A to UV-A happens when your eyes and skin can be in it.
- lifestyle modify your schedule to avoid illness. It is paramount
- You might have to change work schedules or jobs
-never work at night for any money especially if you have a mitochondrial disease already.
-Always pay attention to how many times you wake up at night to p*e, your hair color, your hair growth, your teeth color, and your skin tone during the day and night when making these changes. They are all neuroectodermal derivatives and will tell you if you are doing life right.
- If you have a mitochondrial illness, say obstructive sleep apnea, begin chewing ice more frequently. It is a mitohack of the melanin renovation Rx. If you want to know why this works you can join my tribe below. You can also read my work at my Patreon site.
Every day most of the mammals I care for make bad trade of money for time. When you avoid UV light exposure you are trading in your reality for a role in society and that is mistake one of most mammals. You must be unique, in this decision tree. There can't be any large-scale revolution in your own life until there's a personal revolution inside of you about the light you need. It renews you to avoid the sausage maker of centralized healthcare. Be your authentic self toward the world. A strong personality can influence people's passion for generations.
Most people really don’t want the truth, they just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth. My mouth is not a bakery. I don’t sugarcoat anything. If you ask me my opinion I’m going to tell you the truth, no matter what you want to hear.
Don't survive, thrive. Do life soaring by capturing UV light wisely. Our cells read and react to our light environment; it shapes us and we are shaped by it in ways most centralized MDs have no clue about.
1. Look toward the sun off-axis by 15 degrees every morning and try to get 30-90 minutes outside every day when UV light is present
2. Try to ground when you are in light collection mode, 100% of the time.
