IS THERE UV LIGHT AT SUNRISE?

UV power level at sunrise in Northern hemisphere summer = Zero.

You usually find UV light doesn’t emerge until about 20 minutes after sunrise (this depends where you are in the world). Even at that time it is very weak UVA registering a... Image
00.1 on the meter.

I suspect there is UV at sunrise just not detectable by a meter but, there definitely is UV light out in early morning hours shortly after sunrise. You are not UV free until 930am or whatever some meme shows.

So get out there early for the uv free red and...
& blue light heavy sunrise which, among many other things, starts production/release of hormones and preps your skin to safely withstand stronger sun later in the day.

Hang around for just a little longer until that tiny bit of purple light (uv) emerges to combine with...
infrared-A and some tryptophan in your eye to start making #melatonin for good sleep later that night and enabling strong, energy efficient #mitochondria. Not to mention keeping your #circadianrhythm and cellular clocks set properly and synchronized at the time nature intended.

A PREGNANT MOMMY'S BELLY IS A GIANT INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY MACHINE

"the fetus is surrounded by the amniotic fluid which has a peak transmission in the NIR forming a dielectrically filled integrating sphere surrounding the fetus ensuring uniform exposure to NIR photons impinging on the mother’s belly."Image
Of course my favorite infrared light therapy machine is the sun but I also like EMR as a supplement. Code "bluelight20" will get you a discount.

DO YOU KNOW THE "ASCOBAL EFFECT" OF RED LIGHT THERAPY?

The ascobal effect occurs when you treat one area and get results in another area.

In this paper you see that red light therapy was used to treat two similar cuts on an arm. The red light treated cut healed faster than the sham treatment group but so did the other cut that was not treated with red light therapy.

"At days 6, 8, and 10, follow-up testing revealed that the laser group had smaller wounds than the sham group for both the treated and the untreated wounds......The LLLT resulted in enhanced healing as measured by wound contraction. The untreated wounds in subjects treated with LLLT contracted more than the wounds in the sham group, so LLLT may produce an indirect healing effect on surrounding tissues."

RED LIGHT HAS SYSTEMIC EFFECTS.Image
"Our data suggest that LLLT has an indirect healing effect on surrounding tissues. The LLLT was applied to 1 of 2 randomly chosen wounds spaced 5 cm apart. Although we found a slight difference in wound contraction between the 2 wounds in the laser group, both the treated and the untreated wounds showed enhanced healing compared with those in the sham group."

HERE'S PROOF APPLE NIGHTSHIFT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH AT NIGHT FOR YOUR HEALTH

YOU NEED BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES & A SPECIAL "CIRCADIAN CONTROL PANEL" FOR YOUR PHONE

In this study, you see that using a regular ipad at night in the three hours prior to their normal bedtimes showed that one-hour and two-hour exposures suppressed melatonin by 23% and 38%.

The blue light goggles (dont be confused these are not blue blockers) in the study were designed to emit 470nm blue light at 40lux suppressed the most melatonin.

The Apple Night Shift modes reduced that melatonin suppression to between 10 and 20% which is better but still significant and chronic melatonin suppression equivalent to nothing you would find in a natural dark night environment.

But....

The orange colored blue and partially green light blocking glasses (blocking up to 525nm) basically prevented any melatonin suppression.

They also say that DIMMING the BRIGHTNESS settings on your phone can further help reduce melatonin suppression from the artificial light.

So the moral of the story is, not only is Night Shift not good enough to preserve your good health, but if your nights are not naturally dark and include artificial lighting and screens, you need a good pair of blue light blocking glasses and you need to DIM your lighting as much as possible.

You need to install our free blue light diet "circadian control panel" which works better than Apple nightshift because it removes more blue/green light and dims your screen.

And if you don't already have a pair, go get a pair of blue light blocking glasses that work.

You can find instructions for the free circadian control panel and our favorite blue light blockers below.Image

Can Light Emitted from Smartphone Screens and Taking Selfies Cause Premature Aging and Wrinkles?

YES lol.

"Exposure to light emitted from electronic devices on human skin cells, even in case of short exposures, can increase the generation of reactive oxygen species.... Especially, extrinsic skin aging can be caused by oxidative stress."

How many times has your dermatologist told you that screenlight or LED you use at night is causing your wrinkles?

Cover your skin, filter your screenlight and use lights made for night. Suggestions below.Image
"Recent studies show that exposure of human skin cells to light emitted from electronic devices, even for exposures as short as 1 hour, may cause reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, apoptosis, and necrosis."

THE NUMBER ONE CANCER IN THE US NAVY IS MELANOMA SO THEY DID A STUDY AND FOUND.....

"personnel in indoor occupations had a higher age-adjusted incidence rate of melanoma. Persons who worked in occupations that required spending time both indoors and outdoors had the lowest rate. Incidence rates of melanoma were higher on the trunk than on the more commonly sunlight-exposed head and arms."

and

"Findings on the anatomical site of melanoma from this study suggest a protective role for brief, regular exposure to sunlight and fit with recent laboratory studies that have shown vitamin D to suppress growth of malignant melanoma cells in tissue culture. A mechanism is proposed in which vitamin D inhibits previously initiated melanomas from becoming clinically apparent."

The Navy apparently knows what your "melanoma expert" dermatologist doesnt....

Melanoma happens most frequently indoors where there is no sun but lots of artificial light and vitamin d that is made by the sun inhibits melanoma from being clinically relevant.

The sun is protective and not a main cause of melanoma.Image
I meant to say #1 most deadly cancer

GOT MIGRAINE HEADACHES, GIRL?

This study shows Circadian Rhythm disruption (dark days and bright nights) increased the number of these kinds of headaches women get AND increased their severity.

The women with circadian rhythm disruption got almost DOUBLE the amount of migraines each month!

Simply increasing the amount of sleep did not fix the problem as there is a such thing as bad sleep (for instance drugging yourself to sleep with pills or antihistamines, sleeping at the wrong time or blasting yourself with artificial light from your iphone before bed and reducing the amount of melatonin released)

If you are blasting yourself with phone or tv light at night, followed by waking up and blasting yourself with more phone or screen light before you see the real sun in the morning and then spending most of the day working indoors under artificial lights, guess what?

You got major circadian rhythm disruption, cupcake.

Your circadian migraine prescription is...

See real unfiltered sunlight first thing in the morning before anything else. You need to reset and advance your circadian phase. This means you need to super bright light of the sun when you get up in the morning. (If it is winter and/or you can get outside in the morning you can use a bright bank of incandescent lights, a bright red light therapy machine (maybe) or a modified SAD light like the one I link to in the replies below).

Get outside multiple times during the day for circadian rhythm reinforcing and melatonin building sunlight breaks. Turn off or block all artificial light at night by wearing blue light blocking glasses as recommended in the bio on this page.

Bright days, dark nights.Image
For supplemental bright morning light I like the Sky Portals from @getchroma. Code "bluelightdiet" will get you a discount.
