This, of course, was an extreme experiment. I mean, most of us are not going to lock ourselves in a bunker.

You live in Washington state. And in reading about how crucial sunlight is to our health and well-being, I just had to think about what came to mind for me, rather, is just the high percentage of seasonal affective disorders and suicides that happen in that state. And it's always been attributed to the lack of sun at certain times of the year.

What I'm also hearing from you is that the time of day that we experience that light is also just as important. So you mentioned going to basketball practice. and leaving when it's dark or not getting sunlight until the middle of the day. And that might be too late.

I'm going to get into that with you because I think so many of us, well, like, I mean, the majority of people nowadays are so tied to their phones and looking at screens and looking at screens before bed. I mean, how bad is that for us?

Yeah. You conducted another experiment that was kind of the opposite of the light deprivation where you soaked up the summer sun in Alaska. Yeah. What are some of the things you found from other researchers about the impacts of a place like Alaska where people experience those heavy differences and swings in light during the summer and darkness during the winter?
