Well,  what they're finding out OF LATE,  is that the longest living populations around, the 90+ year bluezone people,  have clear minds all the way through death.


It's only the western diet world which consume large quantities of animal-fats and cholesterol, afflicted by dementia/parkinson/stroke/alzheimers.

I never sleep early... even if I do I just end up tossing and turning until late at night
it's probably cause of my existential dread or fear of the future and that I will be a failure in life
idk tho maybe I just can't sleep easily

Did you have  Yellowish Soft white lights,  or did you have the bright "white" CCFL ..

That makes a major difference,  White ccfl keeps alot of people up and dramatically shifts their natural circadian rhythm.

What you want is to get as Yellow / Orange as possible.

You want something around 2000-3000K color. 

Even 3500-4000 is very blue.


Blue light triggers a special ganglion on the back of your eye directly wired to keep the brain system alert/awake, it's a timing mechanism.

Also, modify all your computer programs/ displays to do Grey on Black text.

I have this issue... I can have perfect rhythm let's say 07:30 AM out of bed.. 09:00 at zeh office... 16:00-18:00 sports and then series / reading / hobbies whatever.

But if I go to bed late ONCE... I'm screwed for at least the remainder of the week. I cannot do it... I must be stringent or my rhythm is messed up again.

Coffee or Tea are a big disruptors, not only because they shift the rhythm by keeping you unnaturally awake in the morning, but also because the half life of caffeine is so long, ~6 hours.. which means if you drink once in the morning and once at lunch, 1pm, you've still got 1/8th of the morning coffee and 1/4 of the afternoon caffeine is still in circulation. 97/448 th of the caffeine you drank during the day.

I drink coffee at the latest around 16:00. I do drink tea at night, around 21:00, but it's herbal tea (not green / white / black), but it does feature mint. (Celestial Sleepy Time mmmmmmm)

Fohat, any complaint you may have , is a step below whatever banality you're complaining about,

Because you'd actually have to be MORE bored, than the alleged bored post, to apply effort and complain about it.

It's a slippery slope all the way down to the oblivion, brother.

Joking, of course. Bedtime is good time, and this is a scientific fact. Turn off your big internet and your little internet. Listen to the rain or the traffic or the night.

Also breath-holding exercises are surprisingly effective to work on the mind/body feedback loop.

100% veggie @ 10% fats,   cures tinnitus.. !!

But for most tinnitus sufferers, it's simply not disconcerting enough a reason to give up the pleasure of Popeyes Fried Chicken..

Unfortunately, if we accept that the level of pleasure in our lives should remain at an elevated (fried chicken) level, then indeed Tinnitus is incurable..

Tp4 is at least 3000% less likely to die of cancer due to 100% Veggie ..

However, 100% Veggie has increased Tp4's odds of dying alone from a matter of Certainty to An Ecclesiastical Declaration

It's important that you're not looking at anything on screen that's bright white or blue.

room lighting should also be dimmed as deeply as is practical. "don't fall, trip over ur cat"


Our circadian rhythm is designed and responds best to Natural lighting conditions,   if it's dark out, as close to darkness as possible is the best room lighting..

Remember,  there is what man wants,  and there's Nature that designed us..  it's a give and take,  but usually nature wins.

Good points yeah I now try to go to bed one hour earlier and read a book off of paper. That helps. I also have more dim lights installed in my bedroom.

But the thing is... always somewhere around 00:00 ideas pop in for anything I'm working on or interested in... code solutions... research ideas... perspectives on life. So annoying. And I HAVE to write them down otherwise they go lost.

Normally I don't have them, but when I started doing tech support, that meant staring at a monitor for 8 hours straight. It would make my eyes sensitive and dry and make my head hurt terribly. My manager asked why my screen looked yellow and told him about it and so he tried it out and noticed the same benefits. I can't say that it will help everyone, but it very well could.

Back in the day, when tp4 used CRT,  right before bed, after 9 hours of Ragnarok Online, Tp4 would have eyeball pain as he closed his eyes.

Triggering a migraine though.. hrrrmmmm... I think I felt something like this at a point when I played alot of stepmania on the keyboard... but that may be due to flashing lights rather than blue/white screen in general.

The eyeball pain stopped after going grey on black for Everything..

And, not playing stepmania is just good for ones health in general..

Most of those don't have a lot of blue light. Typically bulbs come in warm colors which are much less blue. It's the white light from fluorescents that are really the problem.

Even many warm lights have some blue. not tungsten, i mean those ccfl curly bulbs.

Overall, you want low intensity as much as possible for night time.

However dark it is outside,  that's how it's suppose to be "nature"

I'm drinking it... I FEEL SLEEPY... it's 20.30 here... I have decided I should stop watching screens at 21.00. Issue is I typically also do some work in the evening..

I read a lot of academic papers (I'm a researcher)... i was thinking of buying an iPad Pro which is almost A4... size of papers. But now I'll stick to printing them out... to limit screen time.

use color replace under accessibility

Make it Grey text on Black background.. 

If it's Img based pdf,  then using two monitors,  on the one with the paper you're reading,  drop the brightness and contrast all the way down,  it will look like a yellowish paper with black text.

Thanks! I also try to read a book now for approx 1 hour before actually turning the lights of and starting to get to sleep. Makes me relaxed... Also the idea that I have time in my busy schedule that I get to read a book comforts me.

I've avoided paper books for over 10 years now..

Because the text is small, and I'd have to squint unless I put it right up to my face..

If on the bed, I read books on a 65 inch in front of the bed, using the grey text on black background, or the dim setting via dropped contrast / brightness

Hmm.. you do need some strong ambient light in order to see the book, which may boil down to the same brightness as just reading off a screen.

Is lack of night vision the problem or lack of tidying up skills?

Don't get me wrong I have a hole in my foot where I stood on a screw sticking out of an old heatsink that lives on my bedroom floor so I would appreciate night vision, but there's a simpler fix :))

I would've seen it , had I had night-vision ...

That's the court defense I'm sticking to...

A huge portion of human genetics and system features are coded to the circadian rhythm.

From digestion, to hormone regulation, hair growth, skin repair.. Lot'o'stuff.


I've read that it's the primary cause of them females >> Obachan ...

Went to the doctor today and he recommended a sleep study for me. Most likely sleep apnea.  :p
