Late Night Screen Exposure Does WHAT!? 🤯

Turns out, exposure to screen type light between the hours of 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. activates a specific circuit in a brain area called the habenula that lowers dopamine and creates a sense of disappointment.

So it's pro-depressive. So every teenager in the world is depressing themselves or any adult who's on their phone after 11, after midnight 1-2, whether it be watching a movie, whether it be on an iPad, does it matter how close to a screen you are, or you wear.

The glasses or the biohacking stuff, you could do that as well.

It's really the brightness of light, not the color. dopamine. So the studies by multiple groups are showing that from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. if you're on your phone, if you're looking at a TV or iPad or screen consistently, it's going to make you more depressed.

In theory, yes. In practice, you would have to do that pretty consistently. Got it. There's not like.

One exposure.

It's gonna dim dopamine. That's right. It's gonna blunt dopamine.
