many many many of the mental health issues that we see nowadays in young people and in adults is the consequence of disrupted circadian rhythms because of a lot of time in a two dimensional screen space which i'm not condemning i spend time on and put out most of my content on social media and in addition to that the lights are too bright at night and are not getting enough sunlight during the day an important thing to understand about our circadian system and health is that in the morning and throughout the day your eyes are less sensitive to light and you need more of it in order to get what you need and at night your eyes are far more sensitive to artificial lighting and you need far less of it in order to disrupt your circadian system in bad ways disrupt your mental health now does that mean you have to walk around with sunglasses at night and dim all the lights in your house well no but you could afford to dim them a little bit you could afford to switch to the red light function on your phone it's amazing when you start to think about how most people exist now it's too damn not enough light for them during the day especially not enough sunlight and that's too bright for them at night
