But I want to know what are you doing when you first wake up because that's going to impact your sleep the most. Are you just grabbing your phone and that's your first light exposure? Is that blue light from your phone or can we get up, walk outside, get that message from the sun about what time it is, which is then going to signal, you know, melatonin to be produced 14 hours later. And every cell in our body has a physiological response to what time it is. We're constantly wanting to know what time of day it is. That's why we have photoreceptors in our eyes and on our skin and we have clock genes and all of this to tell us what time of day it is. You can get outside during the day as often as you can, but especially in the morning when you're getting that good infrared light. And again at sunset. Infrared light is high again at sunset. And the whole family will benefit.
