We live indoors. Under LEDs. Staring at screens. Sleeping under a sky that never goes dark....And our biology is paying the price.
In this episode, Living in the Twilight Zone, we unpack how artificial lighting has quietly hijacked our circadian rhythm - the ancient timing system that governs sleep, hormones, metabolism, mood, and energy. When your brain can’t tell day from night, it stays stuck in a constant state of “almost daytime.” Not fully alert. Not fully rested. Just tired… but wired.
We explore why modern light environments confuse your nervous system, suppress melatonin, elevate cortisol, and leave you exhausted even when you’re doing “all the right things.” Why sleep supplements stop working. Why fat loss stalls. Why anxiety creeps in at night and mornings feel harder than they should.
If you feel overstimulated, under-recovered, foggy, restless, or chronically tired…
You’re not broken.
You’re living in the twilight zone.
Listen in to learn how light became the most underestimated stressor of modern life and how small changes can bring your energy, sleep, and resilience back online.
