Today’s discussion is going to give you a preview of a sleep workshop I am creating for parents. The topic is sleep, food, and light! And breaking down the false idea we can set our circadian rhythms simply by going to bed and waking up at the same times every day.
Welcome to today’s Office Hours for Brighter Days, Darker Nights
I’ve invited you and all subscribers to talk here about your sleep routines, and what effects (if any) you have noticed from light and food. If you would like to take part, add your question or comment about sleep here:
Once you post your comment, your fellow readers and I will do our best to share our knowledge and tips. If you see a question and have something to say, hit the reply button on that comment to share your thoughts.
New format!
Instead of making this a time-sensitive thing, I’ve decided to leave these office hours posts open for the duration between sessions. So, don’t worry about what time it is! We’ll still see your comments and I won’t close this discussion until the next session starts in two weeks.
Updates and reminders:
These office hours are occasions for you to ask questions and share your own experiences and knowledge, and have their own tab if you visit Brighter Days, Darker Nights on the web.
This publication has a new name, URL, and email address! We are now hosted at www.brighterdaysdarkernights.com and you can read more about the change here. Please add our new email to your contacts: news@brighterdaysdarkernights.com.
In case you missed it. This week, I started a new series all about melatonin’s counterpart, cortisol. My aim is to share a holistic view of this important hormone, and give you tools to counteract the all-too-popular anti-cortisol rhetoric going around these days. Get the first installment here:
