It's a absolutely beautiful day and I feel like doing absolutely nothing.

I think I'll go play with the dog.

100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library

“I heard from a man in his early 40s with serious heart problems. He wrote to tell me about Krishnamurti, a spiritual leader in India who died in 1986. Krishnamurti was once asked what is the most appropriate thing to say to a friend who was about to die. He answered: ‘Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he does, you also go. He will not be alone.’ In his email to me, this man was reassuring: ‘I know you are not alone.’”

From that page.....

Sleep duration as a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
Men reporting short sleep duration (< or =5 and 6 h of sleep per night) were twice as likely to develop diabetes, and men reporting long sleep duration (>8 h of sleep per night [sleeping past dawn, into the light, one presumes - RJ]) were more than three times as likely to develop diabetes over the period of follow-up. Elevated risks remained essentially unchanged after adjustment for age, hypertension, smoking status, self-rated health status, education, and waist circumference…

As astonishing as it may seem to those of us raised with ever-more artificial light from TV, video games, computers, cell phones, bedside LEDs, etc.; there is a rapidly accumulating body of evidence which suggests that extended exposure to artificial light (and therefore too little true darkness) is the largest reason why these illnesses are striking so many in industrialized and industrializing nations – this is the Photoperiod Effect.

It's not that artificial light is bad in itself, of course, but that our bodies need the true night that existed during the whole period during which we evolved. That is, we need long periods of darkness each day in order to stay truly healthy. This is because our hormone system largely controls our bodies, and night (deep darkness) controls that hormone system.

Therefore, quite new science is pointing us toward a natural path to much better health, similar to the natural food movement that brings us a bit closer to the sorts of foods our remote ancestors ate.
