SUNLIGHT HAS POWERFUL TIME-DEPENDENT EFFECTS ON PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH • - The positive effect of viewing morning sunlight on daytime, mood, focus, and alertness is well established. It will also make you more of an earlier riser. - What most people don’t realize is that the effects of sunlight on health are strongly time-of-day dependent. This is because the circadian clock of hypothalamus is not always available for shifting your circadian rhythm. That only occurs in the early day and late afternoon. - I discuss the mechanisms and data for each of these effects in detail, including the references, on the Huberman Lab podcast. - Our website hubermanlab.com is designed so that you can put any combination of items into the search function and it will take you to the exact timestamps in the episodes that cover those topics. - We also have zero cost newsletters that you can sign up for at hubermanlab.com that include protocols for using light for various aspects of health, sleep, hormone support, etc. (other newsletters that are related to dopamine, deliberate, exposure, etc. All zero cost, of course.) - Meanwhile, please put any questions or comments you have in the comments section below this post, and as always thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford - #neuroscience #science #ciencia #neuroplasticity #health #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #sun #mood #hormones
