I'm not sure what part you found to be pseudoscience. This technique was prescribed to me by a healthcare professional and can be found in medical journals.
And, I fully agree -- light is important. Maybe I'll add an addendum on that.

For anyone like the "Pseudoscience!..." commenter saying that melaton knowledge is, in general, sufficient alone to end said sleep problems -- that's just plain dismissive nonsense!
If you suffer insomnia this is where you should be starting with.
PS: I suffered insomnia, spent a lot of time working through it, and got medical advice.
Prefer residences and offices with natural light, or take a walk outside around noon (wear sunscreen). There you go...
Then, amount of papers doesn't necessarily translate into scientific rigor. Since research universities adopted a "publish or perish" policy there's a deluge of junk science.

FWIW, I live in California and spent four months on the beach prior to undergoing this regimen.
The perceived improvement could be due to other reasons rather than the therapy itself.
Usually you establish a relationship between the therapy and results through something like statistical significance but this was not the case.
Then, it is important to be responsible when offering health related advice to people. If you are not a healthcare professional, start saying:
1) Follow this advice at your own risk
2) I am not a healthcare professional this is a casual exploration of my sleep cycle.
I think this is more responsible than implying this followed some sort of scientific approach.
PS: rather than the ad-hominem try to add value to the discussion staying on topic.
1) ultimately came from a professional 2) was linked to a program with a bunch of literature
You risk your “Pseudoscience!” claim becoming unfalsifiable. What would it take to be, in your eyes, Not Pseudoscience? A direct link to a paper on this exact algorithm?
