 Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!  How Artificial Lighting And Cortisol Impacts ZZZZ's  "The ancestral environment  contained both more and less light exposure. We experienced more light from an intensity standpoint in that we got outside and had the sun on our skin (and in our eyes, establishing our circadian rhythmicity and setting the tone for the production of sleep hormones such as melatonin) and less in that once the sun went down we had starlight, moonlight or firelight. Indoor lighting by contrast is this kind of grey purgatory in that it is many orders of magnitude of intensity LESS than sunlight, yet many orders of magnitude of intensity GREATER than starlight. Indoor lighting is like chronic cardio relative to lifting weights and sprinting: not enough of an acute (hormetic) stimulus, too much of a chronic stress."---Robb Wolf
