Outdoor time

Spending time outdoors supports circadian rhythms, resilience, and mental well-being.

Strong consensus

“when you spend extended time in the back country, say camping, like under the stars or in a tent, and we're disconnected from technology, I think it takes three three nights, three nights or four nights, and when you come back, your brain has actually reset and it's become a sponge again.”

Incandescent bulb

Incandescent bulbs are a gentle, low-blue light option for home lighting, supporting circadian health.

Strong consensus

“Anywho, I buy all my incandescent bulbs from a specialist lighting shop they are the best.”
