Irene Lyon: "Let's just say someone has trouble sleeping. Is it useful for them, at the beginning of this, to actually force themselves out of bed, when maybe they finally fallen asleep at 5:00am, when the birds are starting to chirp. I see you shaking your head saying no.
"Or is it better, and this is what I've just done. I'm not sleeping till noon or anything like that. The first thing I do is I walk outside. I wear contacts, so I don't put my contacts in anymore. And I just stand there or I'll go for a walk or a bike ride or something like that.
"So what's your feeling on people who have such disrupted sleep? Tell me."
Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, you're exactly right. We build anxiety around sleep, especially if we're poor sleepers. And typically poor sleeping means we either wake up a ton at night, or we go to bed really late, we have a hard time falling asleep.
"So no. You know, a hardcore quantum health person be like, 'Suck it up and wake up.' Right? 'First thing in the morning, my friend.'"
Irene Lyon: "Boot camp."
Carrie Bennett: "Right. Exactly."
"But I would say no. I've worked with enough people who have that dysregulated circadian rhythm. I've tested their melatonin. Their melatonin is spiking at nine o'clock in the morning. And they can't wake. I mean, they can't physically. It would be almost, I don't know, it would be too jarring. Right? It'd be too jarring for them to do this."
Iren Lyon: "Abusive to try to do that."
Carrie: "Abusive. Exactly. It would not feel nurturing. They wouldn't get the same benefit like I felt, because I was up anyways.
"So I tell people that, with my night owls who are transitioning to more of a daytime circadian rhythm, they got to block the artificial light at night. Because you don't want to artificially keep yourself awake.
"See the sunset if you can. Spend evening time outside. Your eyes are picking up the 'time of day' no matter what time of day it is. So if you can, kind of then set the stage on that end.
"You're doing it perfectly, Irene. You get out first thing when you wake up. And your eyes, again, can pick up the time of day and tell your brain the time. Right? It then communicates it to all your cells, and you go on your merry little way."
Irene Lyon: "Great. Thank you." —Carrie Bennett with Irene Lyon @ 18:01–20:15 https://youtu.be/_rGxeExQYjs&t=1081
