Hi Lars, I read with interest your suppositions about exposure to too much light, blue light and too many carbs. I was wondering if those who live in the Northern hemisphere suffer from the type of depression those who live in more or less a 4 season climate do. When peoples of the norther hemisphere live with daylight really 24/7 in their summer, do they experience or develope depression?
I do know that depression and the ups of bi polar cause sleepless nights and the overall disruption of a healthy pattern of sleep and this disruption exacerbates symptoms. So the fact that you have tried melatonin and have seen positive results for you makes me want to look it its use to help create and establish a good sleep cycle. There are so many warning about being on melatonin over a ong period of time but you say you have been on it for 6 year with no issues. Have you ever had a full physical with blood work, liver functions, etc. done to see if there is no cause for concern for the extended use of melatonin? IS the light of a computer screen considered blue light? Thank you for a good post.
