Lots of people advise time in full sun looking into the distance with no corrective lenses too.
I haven't messed with vision bio hacking much because sleep was my big issue when I was sick.

Yeah, i sort of gathered indirect sun a good thing, thus I almost never wear my sunglasses when out or driving anymore.
Funny you should mention sleep. Kinda struggling with that lately; have posted about it a couple times. Was your sleep a side effect of some other health issue, or was it your main issue?
My issue is months now I wake up earlier than ideal, around 4-5, but closer to 4 most days. Oddly restless even though I can feel another hour or so would do me good.
Sleep was a symptom of a type of food allergy.
Typical most known food allergies are IGE type, anaphylactic and hives immediately on exposure.
Non IGE food allergies are a thing too. The reaction doesn't start until the food is into your intestines hours later. Sleep disturbed and GI issues. High heart rate and body temp at night.
No real test for non IGE food allergy, just do elimination diets with common food allergens.
Thanks! I suspect it might be a little GI issue for me, so this could be helpful.
Will read a bit about it since don't know what IGE is, but idea of paying closer attention to diet before bed is a great idea I should have thought of sooner!
IGE, vs non IGE just refers to the type of immune system reaction. If you are curious it can be interesting. If you just want to be healthy all you need to know is IGE causes anaphylaxis as soon as it hits your mouth, non IGE the reaction doesn't start until the trigger food is out of your stomach and into your intestines. Ige can kill you on the spot, non IGE will just make you a sickly and tired piece of shit.
If that is what it is, you'll need to avoid your trigger food all day every day just like an ige allergy.
Because you get no indication while you're eating you eat full portions. Your body can't heal and normalize until all of the allergen is out of your system. Pooped out to be clear. 3 days clean to start to see improvement, a week or more to fully normalize.
With daily exposure GI symptoms means loose all the time. With intermittent exposure your GI system stops and the restarts, so constipation that quickly becomes diarrhea once things get moving again. Easily misdiagnosed as Crohns or IBS.
Fascinating. I'm gonna pay closer attention to this. Does seem GI related as it is first thing I wanna do when I get up, even though it's not like an urgent need. Maybe the guts are overactive too early in morning and that's making me overly alert at odd hours. Lots to think about.
Have an idea. Maybe I try 3 days with a really limited diet. Remove everything but a few foods, and see how that goes 🤔
Thanks for sharing info
When I finally looked at diet and food allergies I just picked a thing from the common allergens list and went 1 at a time for my elimination diet. It was slightly informed by knowing what I eat and slightly random since I was eating multiple top 5 allergens daily, most people are. Got lucky and it was the first food I tried.
Of course I had tried all sorts of non food elimination solutions for years first but still.

Will have a look into this list. May be easier to remove one at a time like you did, rather than try to start at "zero" and add back slowly (I don't do much of the cooking).
Let you know if anything comes of it 👀
Hope it helps. At the very least you have a cool new anecdote to bore people with at parties.
Paying off already. Already bored one person with info about it this morning.
Let you know how it goes/what I find
