Morning Light Benefits
Morning sunlight exposure is crucial for enhancing cognitive performance and regulating circadian rhythms. For those in less sunny environments, using a SAD box can effectively provide the necessary light. In the evening, minimizing bright light exposure is essential to prevent melatonin suppression, with strategies like using night mode and dimming lights to create a more conducive sleep environment.In this clip

From a standpoint of ruthless neurobiological efficiency for setting the circadian clock, which is the lesser of two evils regarding eyewear during morning light exposure: blue-light blocking glasses or high-quality sunglasses? Does wearing any kind of filtering eyewear during the morning viewing protocol completely negate the benefits by filtering out the specific blue/yellow wavelengths needed to activate the melanopsin retinal ganglion cells, or is the sheer intensity (lux) of outdoor light sufficient to overcome the filter to some degree? Is it a binary 'works/doesn't work' situation, or is there a gradient of effectiveness?
What about accumulating 100,000 Lux minutes of light exposure in the morning as recommended by Andrew Huberman in the episode Using Science to Optimize Sleep, Learning & Metabolism | Huberman Lab Podcast #3 and the clip Moonlight and Circadian Rhythms? He suggested five minutes if the illumination from the sun is 20,000 Lux or about 15 minutes if the illumination is 7,000 Lux. Has this concept changed in subsequent episodes of the Huberman Lab Podcast, specifically regarding the recommendation for quantifying how much time I need to spend getting light exposure based on the brightness of the sun on a given morning?
