People are starting to see the extremely potent & positive effects of viewing morning & daytime sunlight. I predict that soon we will internalize the benefits of night time darkness on mental health. As a recent study Nature Mental Health points out, these are independent & additive.

Excited that our work on light exposure patterns and mental health got the cover of Nature Mental Health this month! 🌻

Analysing 13M hours of light data and 670K person-years follow-up, this study shows higher #Type2Diabetes risk in people exposed to brighter night light and disruptive light patterns affecting circadian rhythms. Andrew J K Phillips Sean W Cain Angus Burns tinyurl.com/4sa7xpr5

Circadian timing🕒 is important for health, but circadian amplitude🏔️may be even more important. We found stronger core body temperature amplitude ➡️ more robust peripheral metabolite rhythms in humans. A robust clock organises the body's rhythms. nature.com/articles/s4159…
