Circadian rhythm

Like I said, I'm trying to be one of these 6 o'clock in the morning people, which means I'm waking up at 5, and my days have been a lot more productive with that.

I need to get a sleep guy in here to talk about circadian rhythm someday, but it's not something I've done a deep dive on, but I understand the basics of it.

And what I know is your nervous system isn't working properly because you're poorly rested.

Your hormones get disrupted.

I'm crankier.

And it's much harder to focus because I've lost those key hours of the morning.

So I think there is such a thing as a natural circadian rhythm.

I think it's similar for most of us, but I think there's some of us that all fall outside the norm.

So don't in the summer go to the beach all day and get cooked.

Instead of go to the mountains, go to the lakes, like be in the water, eat summer foods, eat seasonally according to the circadian rhythm of Mother Earth.

Yes.

And that is what will keep you balanced.

Wow.

So once you understand the Constitution, that's the first step.

And then what I did was I talked about circadian rhythm, circadian clock.

Ayurveda came up with the circadian clock and said we must live according to these different times of day.

But, um, you know, anybody that's got compromised health, um, I wish them very well on, on, on their journey.

But perhaps re-listen to what we've spoken about today and contemplate that and invite that and explore these things and do further reading and research into this.

There's a great doctor called Dr. Jack Kruse out there that talks all about, um, circadian rhythms-

Mm

... and EMF pollution and these types of things and, and why our, um, why spending more time out in the sun is-- can be very b- beneficial for people that do these shift work, um, [laughs] vocations and also, uh, surround themselves with artificial light, especially in the daytime or early in the morning.

And it's just phenomenal to me, like how... how inspired she was.

Because one of the things that you'll hear from circadian rhythm experts today, sleep specialists, of which I'm one, is they cannot, they'll say this themselves, they cannot emphasize enough how important it is to do things with regularity.

Going to bed at different times, there's just a study that came out showing this, going to bed at different times is more injurious than going to bed at a regular time, even on the weekends.

Even on the weekends.

So they're already delayed.

Yeah.

Their circadian rhythm is already delayed because they're getting up late and they miss out on the very one thing.

that can advance them back into normalcy, which is morning sunlight.
