Ginger Meggs by Jason Chatfield for October 31, 2023

So familiar for so many of us. The side comment is right on.

You’re softly worn already, Ginger

Strong possibility that LED lighting may be the culprit.

The body clock Megs refers to is called the circadian rhythm. Blue light from the sky controls it, so that before the advent of artificial light your body would sync up with the daily round of the sun. Edison bulbs and candles put out very little blue light, but the newer LED bulbs put out lots of it. So do computer screens and so on.

The book “Why We Sleep”, by Matthew Walker covers this. Easy strategies to cope: Turn off all lighting after a certain time each night or invest in colored lighting that can be set to orange or yellow. No screens after a certain time. If you read to relax at night, use paper books with yellow lighting or put your reader in night mode. Do not turn on the lights at all until a certain time in the morning. Take a walk outside in the real sun in the morning.

It is exactly the same issue as “jet lag” and should be taken seriously. Chronic low sleep has truly horrific health implications.

Daylight savings time soon….reset body clock………speak on both sides of their mouth! to give completely different advice or opinions about something in different situation.

“Politicians are like pop music; different people but it all sounds the same.”

Here in the US. Most of the times our politicians sound closer to Gangster Rap. Too many are being imprisoned for crimes they committed.

Have you tried turning yourself off and turning yourself on again?

With ref to note: “Why does it always seem to be me lookin’ at you, you lookin’ at me. it’s always the same, it’s just a shame, that’s allll.” The only good thing is that there is no longer any doubt about what politics is all about.
