Hello
I remember back in the Paul Chek days that it was supposedly paramount to hormonal balance that we get to bed by around 10pm. The idea was that you should have the lights low or use candles in the evening to lower cortisol before going to bed, and that during the night is when the restorative hormones were produced, then the sun comes up and signals the body to start producing cortisol so we can "get things done" lol. This seems incongruous with Peats idea that darkness increases the stress hormones.
I've been going to bed later and later lately (around 2am) and I'm wondering if this has any effect on my hormones if I'm still going outside for natural light everyday.
What's been your experience with this, and has Peat commented on sleep schedules as such?
