Studies about night light impact on children

I'm looking for studies or data about the health impacts of putting night lights in the rooms of children. I've seen some of the adult studies Dr Huberman references, but now I'm looking for research specifically about children. I'm pretty sure it's not good, but my wife thinks they are essential.

Ultra endurance wind down for sleep protocol

Hi, this should be relevant for endurance athletes. I'm a cycle rickshaw rider in a hilly city. 2+ nights a week I work 10-12 hour shifts cycling spending most of the time in zones 1 and 2, 1-2 hours in zone 3 and 15-60min in zone 4 to max. This is between 5pm and 5am with most intense work toward the end. During this I am also highly engaged mentally - talking with people, navigating traffic, etc. Afterwards I'm often buzzing with adrenaline and struggle to wind down, especially to get into deep sleep. After a shift I limit light exposure, stretch, do wind down breathing protocols and take a hot shower - yet this is not enough :( I often find myself doing NSDR for the whole night but no actual sleep. I'm waking at 11am to light exposure, and will sleep/NSDR for a few more hours before work, rest of the week I'll get 8-10 of continuous sleep waking at 11. Is there a protocol and/or supplements (beside the sleep stack mentioned in the podcast) You could advise to accelerate the transition into restful sleep? Thanks 🙏

Curing Myopia, Hyperopia. Print pushing, eye stretches

I, and am sure many of us, would love to see an episode on eye health and improving myopia and hyperopia, as it seems that the eye care industry does not want people to see better. I have been using the print pushing technique and eye stretching exercises for the last year with good results. I started with -7.5/-7.0, worked with just one eye to get to -7.0 on both. I have not taken a test since. However, I expect to have made a significant improvement, as I can now comfortably function in most daily activities (walking, running, cycling, shopping, cooking) without wearing any correction, use -3.0 prescription glasses for work, and -5.0 prescription glasses for driving. Thanks 🙏

Peptides for Aiding Injury Recovery

I've used Sermorelin for a couple cycles after tearing ligaments with mild improvement in recovery time. I also train BJJ, and even with dialing back my intensity, I feel I am regularly injuring myself. Recently, I started a protocol of BPC-157 with TB-500 for a high-grade tear of my UCL in my elbow. The injury got worse over the period of 4 months and developed tricep tendinopathy as well. After just one week of taking these peptides, I noticed a remarkable improvement after each day of taking them. I decided to take off two days and start another round supplementing CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin instead of Sermorelin. The second round, I also did direct injection of the BPC into the elbow rather than SubQ. So far, there has been even more recovery, and now my elbow feels almost completely healed and strengthened. This seems too good to be true, and I'd love to hear what you know about the downside of taking such peptides in this prescribed protocol.

How high is high in HIIT?

What heart rate zone or breathing gear should I be in for it to be considered high if I were doing HIIT?
