And use melatonin as the nighttime signal.
Right.
Yeah.
Or if you're going to use sunglasses, make them kind of blue tinted.
So even if it's blocking the UV or whatever, at least the light.
So it's the blue green frequency of light that sends information to the clock.
That's why the orange lenses block it.
But wear like a blue or green or tinted sunglasses if you're going to wear sunglasses in the morning.
There's no data on this.
I just made that up.
But it should work because as long as you're getting that frequency of light, it's the bluish-greenish light that sends the information to the clock.
But it's also, I live in Arizona, sunglasses, if you don't want macular degeneration, you need to wear sunglasses when you're outside.
So how do you get...
enough light to, to, to influence the clock without doing retinal damage.
And, and so that's why, you know, I don't know.
I'd love to see data on this.
I don't know that anyone's actually studied this.
If they have, um, I I'd love to see it, but that's my pet hypothesis.
You want the blue light to inhibit melatonin.
In the morning, you want it to.
