Question #1501: Sleeping during the day, living at night, harmful?

[Ask Satya Operator]

From time to time I go into this mode of life, say I can live for a month or two at night and sleep during the day.


If I sleep normally during the day, using earplugs, and a light mask, is it harm in some other way?

Some people prefer a nocturnal lifestyle, such as working at night and sleeping during the day. You need to make sure that your sleep is regular and that you get enough sleep.

The disadvantages may be that it is a disruption of the light and dark cycle. Sleep disturbances can lead to problems with concentration or mood. Also, physical health can be affected. Improper sleep can affect the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity or other conditions.

I don't think this is healthy for human beings. You have to conform to circadian rhythms. Go to sleep between 22 and 23 and sleep the time that you need. Sleeping would be very restoring. If you have problems to sleep you can use a type of magnesium supplment.

Morover, the majority of jobs are done during day. So, if you don't have a nocturne job, sleeping during day would be a problem.

Society in general is active during day. So living at day is better for living in society with other buna beings.

Another important thing is that sun is very important for our health. Indeed sunlight permit the production of vitamin D important to fix calcium in bones. Sunlight brings happiness and power and it useful to empower our aura.

If you are still growing up yes it is terrible for your body if you dont sleep at night (10 pm to 4 am)
You wont get taller .
Also you may feel depressed because others are asleep and you are awake,you cant talk to them.

What about living in North Pole, South Pole or next to them, where sun doesn't rise for weeks or months and doesn't set also for longer period of time? Is it unhealthy too? Lately, I was thinking about living in regions like this, so this is why I am asking. Also, did people in ancient times live in places like that? If yes, how did deal with it?

Artificial lighting is one of the main causes that nowadays brings people out of balance with nature and creates clinical impairments such as people thinking they're "night owls" which is not really a thing.

Now, don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with artificial lighting per se. It's just about the way the enemy made it popular. What is used by most people nowadays is lighting that use the full spectrum of light, which is not supposed to happen at night. You're supposed to see only a limited part of the spectrum, which is why candles are still okay. The only way to contrast the unnatural lighting is to use blue-light filters. True ones, not the fake "night light" provided by Windows 10 and Android devices.

For some reason hyperbolically it seems like you make it sound like artificial light = bad. I assume you mean LED lighting that has been popularized in the last decade or so. Particularly as Bulbs and CCFL have been slowly being phased away.

I understand light is important for say need to go to the bathroom in the dark and turning on the light to see what your doing.

But honestly sometimes I get annoyed with my sleeping habits taking like 2-3 hours to fall asleep. I really feel like sleep is a huge waste of time and I just want to get done with it as fast as possible and just wake up. Even if I sleep longer as well past my wake up time as I wake up more tired than the day before.

You also forget to mention from blue-light filters there is also UV radiation produced by LEDs so there needs to be UV filtering as well.

Do you recommend any places to study more of this. Honestly it's not gonna change me to be honest. I mean I already sleep pretty late due to requiring 2-3 hours to fall asleep.

Also eating late it's funny you mention it, it's not uncommon for me to eat as late as 11M. Between 7-10PM most of the time.

You mentioned after WW1 what do you mean, what happened after WW1 that this became a phenomena of eating late?

I want to ask did the Gods ever invent artificial light that doesn't harm the user or others. It seems like people of the Ancients write stories of the older times whereby the Gods possessed flameless torches or flameless candles that illuminate temples.

It seems like with current electrified tungsten, CCFL, and LED harming us. Where Humans even meant to create artificial light, I'm sure the Gods would have intervened and guided us on a pathway to use artificial light of a proper tech spectrum.

It's not surprise people are wanting to kill each other, spy on each other, or outright berg and stein money from each other. Either way what I described though hyperbolic. I think it imbues a quality I've been theorizing for many years now that Humanity should have developed all this technology some 10,000 years ago. As I believe HP.Cobra mentioned Humanity was at least 1700s level of development when the Gods left and the enemy came.

I'm pretty sure Humanity was not ready for many of the stuff unleashed in just the last 150+ years.

Am I being anti-tech? It's not that I hate technology just seems like there is so much hassle with it. So many people want to escape it. I wonder if with the Gods around would people be the same. After all it seems like many just want to be on the computer and just learn for the sake of learning. A trait I posses quite well. In fact it's probably what I've been doing for the better part of nearing 20 years now. And really since childhood with other technologies and consoles and whatnot.
