0:00.0 | Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life. |
0:06.0 | I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. |
0:15.0 | Today marks the second episode in our Journal Club series with myself and Dr. Peter Attia. |
0:21.0 | Dr. Peter Attia, as many of you know, is a medical doctor who is a world expert in all things health span and lifespan. |
0:29.0 | He is the author of the best-selling book Outlive, as well as the host of his own terrific |
0:33.8 | podcast, The Drive. For today's episode, Peter and I each select a different |
0:38.1 | paper to share with you. We selected these papers because we feel they are both extremely interesting and extremely |
0:44.9 | actionable. |
0:45.9 | First, I present a paper that is about how light exposure during the morning and daytime |
0:51.5 | as well as dark exposure at night, each have independent |

1:14.1 | really expands on that by identifying |
1:16.7 | the key importance of not just morning sunlight, |
1:19.4 | but getting bright light in one's eyes |
1:21.4 | as much as is safely possible throughout the entire day and a |
1:24.7 | separate additive effect of being in as much darkness at night as possible. |
1:30.6 | I describe the data in a lot of detail although you do not need a background in biology in order to understand that discussion and there's a key takeaway which is that if you can't get enough light in your eyes during the daytime, you would be well advised to get as much darkness |
1:46.1 | exposure at night. In other words, light and dark have independent and additive effects on mental health. |
