RE: Sleep for your life: The reason why light in the night kills your energy!
I enjoy both your long and your short articles. Much information to help us understand our bodies and live better lives. I hope you don't mind that I trouble you with a question:
1.Can we 'fool' the brain with artificial light? If one lives in an environment away from sunlight, can one reset the circadian rhythm by introducing light later in the day (after sunrise) and turning light off later in the night. Thus, literally, turning day into night?
I like best your last illustration, in which the mitochondrian is sleeping peacefully :))
Great work,
Regards,

Hey @agmoore2, thanks for your nice reply again. Yes, I think you can fool your brain. In the absence of natural light, you can readjust your clock, as they do it with the flies. Don't ask me how long it takes. Experiments with people in bunkers or caves have shown that they create their own rhythm after a while. For turning night to day and day to night is, therefore, possible, but I don't know whether they already tried it in this fashion.
Thanks also for the feedback about the sleeping mitochondrion. I always try to find a good story to entertain the people at least a bit.
Have nice remaining weekend
Best
