“A recent study found that people who garden sleep better than those who engage in other exercises or don't exercise. Researchers collected information about the sleep habits of more than 16,000 adults in the U.S. They categorized the participants as gardeners, exercisers, or non-exercisers.”

“The importance of time of day for this type of intermittent fasting is still an interesting open question, especially since there’s a lot of advocacy for late eating among 16:8 advocates, however, insulin sensitivity usually declines later in the day (and is exacerbated by the production of melatonin, which has an effect of shutting off insulin secretion).”

“A few things that I have found improve my sleep are switching all blue lights off before sunset since blue light stops the production of melatonin. I have red lights that turn on before sunset and this has really helped my sleep pattern.”

“The probiotic also altered their gut microbial composition toward a more favorable profile and increased levels of isovaleric acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid (also known as GABA), metabolites involved in melatonin production and circadian rhythm regulation, respectively.”

“This pattern was clear during the day and more modest after the standardized meal. Evening salivary melatonin levels were higher after daylight exposure, and muscle samples showed changes in genes that help run local biological clocks.”

“02:47:31 - Rhonda’s personal experience with night terrors and Joe’s personal experience with sleep apnea. 02:55:37 - Reducing blue light exposure in the evening can improve natural melatonin production and sleep quality.”

“Prolonged exposure to artificial light disrupts circadian rhythms, the internal clocks that regulate daily cycles of hormones such as melatonin and cortisol. When these rhythms are disturbed, appetite, metabolism, and fat storage can be affected in ways that promote weight gain.”

“Exposure to Room Light before Bedtime Suppresses Melatonin Onset and Shortens Melatonin Duration in Humans. Early evening light mitigates sleep compromising physiological and alerting responses to subsequent late evening light.”

“Caffeine has a powerful effect on circadian rhythms. Consuming caffeine late in the day disrupts natural melatonin production, compromises sleep quality, and potentially induces chronic circadian misalignment.”
