And then after school, you know, maybe I'd be at basketball practice and come out in the dark as well. So absolutely, we need daylight. Our clocks and this coordination of our entire physiology really counts on those inputs of of light and dark to tell the body that it's day and night and coordinate those activities.

And when we don't get daylight, when we don't get those photons to help calibrate those clocks, then things go awry. And that affects our mental health and our physical health.

The science suggests that light across the whole day is crucial, but in particular morning light. Again, the science is evolving. There's always new data points here that maybe slightly tweak the picture. But it's pretty clear that during the daytime, especially in the early hours, getting daylight will help recalibrate our rhythms.

And then throughout the day, the accumulation of getting those photons from the full spectrum that the sun offers, in particular those blue wavelengths of light that we get from the sun, will help align our rhythms as well as help make them more robust. So we create really this kind of stronger amplitude of our rhythms throughout the day, which is also crucial.

So yes, and then at night, again, to keep that contrast, to make the body understand that this was day and this is night when we're supposed to wind down for sleep, That's when we need the lights down and not blasting our overhead lights in our homes, for example, or putting our face in front of screens. So, yeah, it's all about that contrast.

Yeah, it depends who you ask. In general, screens do emit light and a lot of blue light. But sometimes when we talk about screens, I think we overlook the bigger picture. I mean, if we're sitting in a living room that has super bright LED overhead lights blasting and maybe a floor lamp beaming it down on you too, that... is at least equally as important as the screen in front of you.

And there's also tools now with our iPhones and our computer screens to kind of suck out some of that blue light so that it doesn't have quite the same effect on our circadian rhythms as well as to dim it. So I think there are tools to use. I think in general, there's probably a good rule of thumb to try to tone down our use of screens at night. But There's a balance to be had as well.
