Thanks, stevieb! I’ll look these up. It’s hard to get sunlight in the morning. We live in such hermetically controlled houses and it becomes hard to walk outside in the morning when we can just sit inside and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. I bet our ancestors didn’t deal with circadian irregularities. They also probably didn’t have the prevalence of PMR.
Thanks for your input. Now I just have to put this into practice.

For me, I get up early before sunrise, and go to bed ridiculously early.....
So I try to go ahead and turn on lots of lights in the morning, and as I work at home with several computers, not be "that guy" I'm the dark room in the first part of the day, but allow less lights ASF the day progresses.... And before bed turn down the lights and try not to stare at a bright phone screen in bed, but elect to listen to an Audible with lights off.
I choose to believe that "Circadian Slope" (high Cordisol stimulus early ramping down to low/no Cordisol stimulus late in the day) .... Is really the most critical factor we have some control over.
