Tristan Scott: "We can't change the blue light in every capacity. Like there's some imbalance happening. So if we can't get rid of the blue light, which you shouldn't be wearing blue light blockers during the day, either. That's what I want to emphasize. We need blue light during the day. That is what's driving wakefulness and cortisol, like helpful cortisol, so you can get stuff done. And dopamine during the day. Like blue light is far more dopaminergic. . .
Paul Saladino MD: Well, it's driving the. . . 'cause you get the cortisol awakening response in the morning. It's driving actually probably the drop of cortisol, isn't it?
Tristan Scott: "Yeah. But it's driving timing. Blue light is the main what's called zeitgeber, or time giver, to our our circadian system."
Paul Saladino MD: "Zeitgeber!"
Tristan Scott: "Yeah, zeitgeber! You can really do yourself a disservice by not getting enough blue light during the day.
"All of these circadian studies, what they show is both the combination of brighter days and darker nights is what's improving all-cause mortality. Now there's a study out there: metabolic health and also sleep quality. So it's the combination of brighter days and darker nights, and brighter days includes blue light.
"If you can't fix the blue light aspect of these LED peaks from the screens and the lighting, well then let's add back in the infrared and balance this out, so you can get the protection from the melatonin production.
"So what I do, and what I told you yesterday, is I bought this 250-watt incandescent bulb chicken lamp, it's straight up a chicken lamp, on Amazon for $10. I just have it on a lamp next to my work setup.
"I typically like to work outside. I want to preface by getting outside, working outside, is the best thing you can do. But most people can't do that. Especially in the winter time, or you work in an office setting, it's challenging.
"This 250-watt incandescent bulb, which has blue light, it has green and yellow, but it has a ton of infrared. I feel great at the end of the day. I don't feel as fatigued from an eyestrain perspective. I don't feel super drained, like you normally do when you're just inside looking at a screen all day.
"I think that's powerful. I think it's really accessible to a lot of people. I love it. I've just changed over: I'm an incandescent maximalist at this point, because I keep going back to just how important infrared light is."
