"Open your curtains as soon as you wake up" - I've recently moved to a place where my bedroom window has no curtains and my sleep quality has improved drastically. Lots of other variables, but intuitively it makes sense to me that morning light would help stop the sleep cycle slipping later, thus keeping me reliably ready for sleep at the end of the day.
Or far southern hemispheric; I stayed at my uncles last night on a makeshift bed in the living room,
He has a network of connected goldfish tanks (connected by water filled plastic tubes the fish can migrate through)
He has the whole thing on a seasonally adaptive sunrise / sunset lighting system. Mirroring that chesapeake bay ecosystem simulation in which the crabs migrated with the season, the fish move north and south following subtle temperature gradients during the year.
This morning I woke up to an amazing underwater sunrise filtered through undulating seaweed
As I opened my eyes to the cold winter morning (my uncle has no heater) in my sleeping bag and red wool beanie, I felt as if finally I had joined team zissou
Your Uncle is pretty unique!
Sunset is 21.59 for me tonight and sunrise will be 04.41 tomorrow. Don’t even get me started on winter…
