Rest is listening to our weariness and responding to our tiredness, not to what is making us tired. Rest is what happens when we say one simple word: “No! — Mike Yaconelli

30-60 minutes of bright light exposure may increase cognitive performance and alertness. Early morning sunlight, rich in blue light, interacts with the melanopsin photopigment in our eyes, which acts as a light sensor, effectively synchronizing our internal circadian clock. This interaction dials down melatonin, the sleep hormone, ushering in alertness. Concurrently, there's a sharp spike in our cortisol levels, known as the cortisol awakening response. This isn't just about feeling awake; it's directly linked to enhanced cognitive clarity and performance. Consider aiming for 30-60 minutes of outdoor light exposure in the morning for a symphony of neurochemical shifts that benefit cognition and mood. — Rhonda Patrick

I write better in Cape Breton... too many people around in Ontario. Down there I meet all sorts of non-human people, but they don't bother me, and I don't feel I have to apologize on behalf of my species quite so often. — Farley Mowat

The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter.
