I can't do all of this QQRT nonsense.

Just tell me one of them to start with.

I would say, don't worry.

We'll get to the three others.

Let's just start with getting your timing right.

Let's understand what type you are.

Take the...

Go online and you can take one of these tests, the MEQ, the morningness, eveningness questionnaire.

You can just Google it and it's free.

We'll add a link to it in the show note captions.

That's great.

Understand what type you are and then try to understand based on what time I'm currently awake and asleep, is it matched?

Is it mismatched?

And if it's mismatched, try to see what you can do with your lifestyle accommodating, of course, to match that.

Things will more than likely start there getting better.

And it's independent, so don't worry.

Yes, it's always good to get that daylight.

But what that paper also teaches us is that because those things can be independent, you can still get some benefit, even if though you've not made it good on your daylight during the day, getting that darkness at night is still going to be beneficial.

And I should probably resolve what some people may think of as confusing.

We spoke about, for example, suicide risk and it being highest in the depths of the darkness at night.
