Science journalist Lynn Peeples did something extraordinary: She spent 10 days in a nuclear bunker exposed only to dim red light but no blue or other visible wavelength of light. She also rid the space of all clocks or other time-indicating devices and even avoided having any human contact. What she learned opened up numerous questions on how to best manage our day-to-day light exposure, wavelengths, and the implications they have on the quality of sleep, our moods, even various aspects of health and performance. After these sorts of unique experiences, along with discussions on circadian rhythms with numerous scientists working on this topic, Lynn comes to some unique conclusions.

Lynn is the author of the book “The Inner Clock: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms” in which she explores the role of purposeful management of your circadian rhythm, your inner clock, for management of energy, focus, and mood. Here, Lynn and I talk about her novel insights, along with practical advice on how to better manage your light exposure and circadian rhythm.
