@fixiemama @jef I get winter SAD, so that wouldn't be unfortunate at all

@WizardOfDocs @jef As far as circadian rhythms go I like to share a trick I learned from someone who used to travel from SF to Hong Kong 4x a year -- use your "third eye" pressure point to reset your circadian clock. On the first day in the new time zone, at noon exactly, get yourself outside and hold your thumb on your third eye for one whole minute. It really helps! Even when the time change is only an hour. @WizardOfDocs @fixiemama @jef @mgarraha @fixiemama @jef got any data on that? I've always found afternoon/evening light affects me more. @WizardOfDocs @mgarraha I think it depends on where you are, for example on one side or the other of the Rockies. I found this site which has a fun charting tool https://observablehq.com/@awoodruff/daylight-saving-time-gripe-assistant-tool @fixiemama @mgarraha thanks! I'm stunned by how much the map changes when you nudge the inputs. @WizardOfDocs Right?! I like how you can set it to be weighted for a later sunset, vs an earlier sunrise, depending on your own preference. @WizardOfDocs @mgarraha as for light therapy in the morning vs light therapy at night this is what I found, pic attached, source https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6746555/ |
@WizardOfDocs Yeah me too, but mostly because I need to get up early... I guess we'll see. But if we keep DST forever then Bangalore will never be more than 12.5 hours ahead of Silicon Valley, hooray...
