Episode notes
Morning Light Within An Hour
- Get outside within the first 60 minutes of daybreak to prime circadian rhythm and melatonin production.
- Even five minutes of real daylight (not through glass) sends retinal light signals that energise mitochondria and improve sleep.
Mitigate Junk Lighting Indoors
- Reduce exposure to blue‑heavy LED indoor lighting and use incandescent lamps or dimmers to restore broader spectrum light.
- Use blue‑blocking glasses and prefer warmer light in evenings to avoid mitochondrial and circadian disruption.
Practical EMF Reduction Steps
- Mitigate non‑native EMFs by simple habits: switch off your Wi‑Fi router at night and avoid charging devices near your head while sleeping.
- Liz measured her sleep and found turning off the router improved sleep quality.
