This RP quote below points out the challenges “Night owls” have. Watching blue screens further compounds their sleep issues. I am glad I gave up television at night for an earlier routine bedtime because I get a straight eight hours a night of sleep now and fall asleep easily too…

“Darkness is stressful and catabolic. For example, in aging people, the morning urine contains nearly all of the calcium lost during the 24 hour period, and mitochondria are especially sensitive to the destructive effects of darkness. Sleep reduces the destructive catabolic effects of darkness.” -Ray Peat

“Since blood sugar is normally higher in the daytime, because of lights effect on various glands, some people with defective livers find it easier to sleep in the daytime.” -Ray Peat

“The carrot salad improves the ratio of progesterone to estrogen and cortisol, and so is as appropriate for epilepsy as for premenstrual syndrome, insomnia, or arthritis.”-Ray Peat
