Redundancy has its place. Sunlight before screen light mashup:

Does exercising -first thing in the morning-impair your ability to engage in deep work (deep focus)? I remember an episode where you mentioned that exercise does affect your ability to learn afterwards.

No and likely the opposite unless you train max effort too long.

I use a 10000 lux light every morning for about 30 mins while I have a coffee but I catch up on internet things at the same time. Hopefully it's better than nothing.

Definitely better than nothing! Try and get some sun during the day if you can, but congratulations on taking this aspect of your health into consideration.

Guys, I’m not sure but… I think we need to get morning sunlight.

Hey @hubermanlab any chance you can add subtitles to your videos? I’m not audibly impaired (currently not trying to wake baby), but I’m sure it’d be appreciated by others. :)

Any tips for those of us in parts of Michigan who haven’t even seen sunlight in like 2 weeks???? Chronic constant gray out.

I'm on an 18 month streak of getting morning sunlight through the eyes. Thanks for the tip @hubermanlab

Listening to so many HLP I’m at risk of purchasing a house with an east facing bathroom window so I can cold shower while staring indirectly at the sun every morning.

Yessss 😂 Love this! I also fail at it. My room is mega dark, and I go right for my phone. Tomorrow morning I will plan to NOT begin watching the HLP in bed (off for holidays haha) and get vertical! I do get sun within 30min while dogwalking but always look at my phone. Me try.🤓
