      I watched a part of it and listened to the rest of it, as long as it's useful I don't mind the lenght. Maybe after 1h it gets a bit more hard to fit in a schedule though. Amazing value, very interesting, the only unresolved question for me is how long does the peak/middle part/rebound last for, we know the middle/less productive part comes about 7h after you wake up but not how long it lasts. This way one could know what is the effect of the chronotype and what is just a self-created slump and when one is more likely to get out of it. Thanks for the video! :)

    According to my Oura ring, I am a early morning type, and I would agree 10000%. I am so clear headed and energetic in the morning. I get everything done then. I naturally wake up between 5-6 am (no alarm) and naturally fall asleep before 9. I work out in the morning as well since that is when I feel my best.

    Great conversation! Thank you! I have been wondering about one thing, it is about time change, summer time and standard time. I have not changed what time I wake up in the morning after recent time change, and day light is becoming shorter and shorter since it is in November, I have been wondering what the good way to maintain or follow my natural circadian rhythm would be. I know it is only an hour yet it is affecting our(my) internal schedule.

    • @TheScienceofSelfCare
      @TheScienceofSelfCare  2 дня назад +1

      Hey! thanks for your great question.
      As she mentioned in the interview, we can adjust our natural schedules a bit without too many repercussions, so I am sure an hour difference is something our body can quickly adjust to. If you're concerned at all, you can always split the difference and wake up 30 minutes later/earlier as you adjust. I think of it as being similar to jet lag; our body will get there with a little time. But more importantly, in the winter, there is less morning light/light in general. So it can be a great idea to make sure you have plenty of light exposure when you wake up, even if it's still dark outside.
      There are many types of light therapy lamps that have comparable light to the sun (without any UV damage to skin).
      This is the one I have (amzn.to/3AUp6fd) which works well in terms of luminosity but I do not like the stand because it feels a little cheap. There are so many other lamps out there, but all in all: I think light exposure (plus sleeping at a consistent time) is the best way to support our circadian rhythm in the winter.
      Hope this helps! xx Robin

      @まみ-z5j5t 2 дня назад

      @ wow thank you Robin for taking time to reply to me. I now see that changing to standard time life maybe a good idea, and also morning light is very very important. I use a wake-up light (Philips) to wake up in dark morning to keep my wake up time consistency, now I realized that I need to keep the bright light on after waking up, so that my brain believes that it is in the “real” morning. Also it may probably be a good idea to keep room lights on longer in the evening even though outside is getting dark so early? I will experiment about it. Thanks again, looking forward to your next video. You are awesome!

      What a coincidence that you ask this! I am actually in the middle of filming a 30-day test trying many of his Blueprint products. In this video I will share my detailed thoughts on the products and also on his larger messages. There are some elements to his content that I find helpful, and some less so.
      I do not personally resonate with his “don’t die” mission and some things he shares feel a bit like he’s building a cult … haha. But I can appreciate his experimental nature, his focus on healthy living, and how he inspires many people to make lasting changes in their lifestyle. First and foremost, I view him as a businessman. And I think he is a really talented marketer (which I genuinely mean as a compliment). I do respect him even if I don’t always agree with him.
      I could actually talk about this for a longgg time so I am eager to go into more detail soon.

      Though many people use an 8am cut off to distinguish between larks and third birds, it’s a contrived classification that I think is a bit late. The true larks are the ones waking up at 5:30/6 and having much difficulty trying to stay awake past 9.
      Moreover: the exact bird doesn’t really matter - it’s just a mental model to help us get to know ourselves.
