A long time ago, in a body far, far more balanced…
There was no blue light after sunset.
Only candlelight. Fire. Moon glow.
Now? You’re under synthetic LEDs pulsing at 5000K color temp, 800+ lux indoors.
Your brain thinks it’s midday.
Your melatonin? Blocked.
Your circadian clock? Fried.
Full-spectrum sunlight hits ~10,000–100,000 lux by day (that’s good).
Candlelight? Under 10 lux—nature-approved for nighttime.
Same with red light bulbs or low-lux incandescents.
Want deeper sleep, better recovery, real hormonal balance?
Kill the overheads.
Dim it down. Light a candle.
Become the light Jedi again. May the Fourth Be with You.
