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?

You know, to a lesser extent, this is reminding me of daylight saving time and the difference of the changes to our bodies when it happens. What is the impact of daylight saving time? We've been seeing more research about it and we know because we can feel it. You know, so many of us feel the differences when we have to move our clocks backward or forward.

Can you explain more of how chronotypes, what they are and how they work in conjunction with circadian rhythms?

Right. You talked to several people. I mean, there are actually seven chronotypes, right? There are several. Right.

I'm thinking about how it evolves with age. Teenagers need more sleep. They typically sleep later in the day. But then, you know, I have seen senior citizens who then it seems like their clock is completely turned upside down with age.

The time we eat seems to be so important. I mean, I think we've all heard that eating late at night is bad, but something that shocked me in your book is that scientists are finding that saving your heaviest meal for the evening, like dinner time, is actually really bad for your circadian rhythms. Yeah.

Yeah.

There's so much research that shows working overnight can lessen your life expectancy. And it seems to impact women more than men. Why is that?
