people who are working in isolation where that's possible, is to do as you said, try to trick your body into thinking nighttime is daytime and that daytime is nighttime. You could do that with some lights now that have the potential to be really bright and really blue, a little more closer to mimicking the sun.

Then yeah, use blackout blinds while you're sleeping to create the illusion that it's nighttime. Really new research is pointing to the idea that even if you're working at night, You could try to consolidate the hours you're eating still to daylight hours because, again, I think a lot of the science is suggesting the consequences of shift work is due to that effect on our metabolism.

So if you can eliminate that factor, if you can still try to eat, you know, maybe it's right before you go into work. It's like, you know, maybe still light out in the evening. You eat your meal, go to work, and then try to hold off on eating again until you get out of work next day.

I mean, I think – I don't know that there's any answers on that yet. I think – For everybody, it absolutely makes sense to do the best you can in your current situation. So by working to keep robust circadian rhythms when you're back among the living, as you said, it certainly helps trying to get things back in alignment and keep it that way for the long term.

Because I did talk to one submariner who had a lot of trouble after landing. doing some crazy shifts on a submarine underwater for years. You know, he continued to have struggles with sleep, but he was trying to implement some more of these ideas of accessing those circadian cues to get his rhythms back in alignment. And that is definitely possible.

So men, on average, until about midlife, lean a little later. There's going to be a higher percentage of night owls among men than women. But as women's levels of estrogen drop, as they near menopause, for example, then their rhythms are shifting. The estrogen actually helps keep rhythms more robust and perhaps lean a little earlier. But as that estrogen is lost...
