I question whether sunlight is the primary regulator of circadian rhythm, as claimed by Kruse. It is said that overcoming jetlag is as simple as standing in wet grass for 15 minutes upon landing. If true, then the Earth is the primary regulator of circadian rhythm. The majority of people who sleep grounded find that they fall asleep faster and sleep better (this is true for my wife and I). Why ritualize your sun exposure, when a one time investment in grounding works faster and is far simpler?
Keep it simple: get grounded, and maintain a good solar callus.
The main benefit of grounding is that it restores your negative ion balance to equal that of the earth. One of the reasons why plane travel is so hard on us is that you have a metal tube flying through the atmosphere generating a ton of positive ions. That, coupled with dry air inside the cabin seriously depletes your natural negative ion balance. Plus the noise and vibration inside the cabin make it difficult to get sleep of sufficient quality during the flight.
As for blue light, as pointed out in the review, most electronic devices allow for color control. The warmest light setting has the least blue light. The coolest settting has the most blue light. Even a lot of new LED light fixtures allow you to select color temperature.
As for home lighting, blue light control is as simple as making sure you have warm light bulbs in areas where you spend significant time in the evenings - you don't need to switch ALL lighting to warm light.
And I can't say it enough: sleep apnea lives in the thoracic spine (and possibly the cervical spine). If you have sleep apnea, see a chiropractor. Even if insurance won't cover it, and there's no guarantee that it will work 100% of the time, it has to be worth trying vs. wearing a CPAP for the rest of your life. Try getting a good night's sleep with that thing on!
I had sleep apnea and got chiropractic help for "nerd neck" and a left hand curve in my thoracic spine. The sleep apnea disappeared. It occasionally reoccurs when the left hand curve starts to reappear, but I do some exercises that pull my neck to the right and I'm good for several more months.
I bought this book because I was suffering from insomnia. I abandoned it half way through because having learnt all the ways that poor sleep damages you I was not only sleepless, but panicked and sleepless.
Both Jack Kruse and Roman put too much emphasis on sunlight exposure and zero mention of toxic substances that people are consuming on a daily basis that disturb sleep cycles such as caffeine, alcohol, white flour and sugar.

Dr. Kruse spoke about apatite - which is Not appetite. I think you are using the wrong word. “appetite“ when you should be using the word “apatite”.
good 🙃🙃🙃🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Great comments here. Can't add much more to those. Article was common sense actually.

One of my all time favorites. I’ve bought multiple copies for gifts for family and friends who were work hard / play hard types.
