April 11, 2026 it’s 3am. now it’s 4am.
I enjoy being a night owl. it’s probably not a healthy habit though. here’s how you can make it work:
::BIOMAXOPTIVIMIZING::
lighting: from your phone screen, to your monitor, to the lighting in your house, get the blue light out.
get red light bulbs or near-infrared. I really like selections from healthlighting.com for that kind of stuff.
nearly every modern operating system has some sort of blue light filter. use it. whether it’s called Night Light or Night Mode (not to be confused with Dark Mode or a dark system theme which is also a good way to reduce that pesky blue light)
and hey if you find the screen harder to read think of it as going to the gym for your eyes, says the guy with 4 eyes. that said turn that screen brightness down too.
why blue light? well it sends the wrong signal to your brain. you would know this if you listened to your body more, c’mon now listen to me the dude who sleeps all day and is up all night.
the sleeping chamber is holy ground. its a dark cold room only for sleep. do nothing else in bed. NOTHING. black out blinds. if you’re a light sleeper a white noise machine.
what we’re doing here is tricking the body into believing we are in some kind of solar eclipse or at a different part of the earth where the sun doesn’t shine for a while. trust me, I’m not a doctor. it makes sense.
so warm lights at night, try to get that early afternoon sun if you can and listen to your body. if you need to sleep, sleep. if you have responsibilities consider a cocktail of stimulants to get through the day.
and remember. this is not sustainable. sooner or later you gotta drop this habit, move in concordance with nature. go. touch. grass.
oh and all that shit I told you about lighting, still valid once you get good sleep hygiene, in fact it will help you get to sleep. and if you already have good sleep habits, well, good for you.
