But going back to the cancer thing, what would be the believed mechanism of action?

Yeah. So the one that I use, just by full disclosure, I'm an advisor to that company. The one that I use, you change how cold it is throughout the night. So I think I run it as, I think the settings go from zero to minus 10. Minus 10 is the absolute coldest. Zero is no temperature change.

No, it's a point scale. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I think I get in and I have it at minus five and then I run it down to minus 10 and then I bring it up to minus five in the morning, something to that effect. So I'm taking it from cold to really cold up to cold.

Yeah. But that gets to the point which we know we don't want to be warm. We don't want the duvet.

The good news is if you can keep your room at 65, none of this matters. And the biggest challenge, honestly, is hotels for most people. It's where you have the hardest time. hotels are the worst.

What about blue light before bed? I've looked at these data quite a bit. And I would say that six years ago, I was in the camp of Every light had to be red. So, you know, I had to have my phone shifted into a red light phase. My computer shifted into a red light phase. I had all of these apps that managed all of this stuff.

So as soon as the sun went down, blue light was being removed from my electronics. And I have to say, I sleep subjectively and objectively better today. I say objectively, if you can believe what a sleep tracker tells you, but we can bracket that and come back to it. We should. never taking blue light out of my devices, but instead paying attention to what I'm consuming.

In other words, my new hypothesis has become, it's not the blue light that is the problem, it's the stimulus that often comes with the blue light. In other words, not looking at social media regardless of light color, is a far greater positive impact on my sleep than looking at those things, but just making sure that there's no blue light coming through. So let's talk about that.
