simply at the place of getting your sleep straight to help with your mental conditions.

Not at all.

I am saying, however, that if you do get your sleep straight, it's only going to help and may help quite a significant amount based on the data.

But when it comes to depression, I would say of those four, QQRT, there's a very strong emerging data that circadian misalignment, not matching your chronotype to the time when you are sleeping and the time you are awake,

is one of the strongest factors.

So if you want to say, I can't do all of them, Matt.

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.

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.
