Plus, many ophthalmologists and institutions, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Dr. Joseph Allen, have shown that blue light significantly affects our sleep. Short sleep duration or waking up too early can be considered a mild form of insomnia.
Wishing you a wonderful day and a good night’s sleep!
Actually, the "reverse alarm clock" prevents anticipatory anxiety, where checking the time triggers a $cortisol$ spike that makes returning to sleep physiologically impossible. I believe this low-tech approach is brilliant because it protects the fragile transition back into $N3$ deep sleep, which is vital for brain detoxification.
Really appealing approach!

Thanks! Your sleep issues appear very similar to mine, and I'm always looking for helpful advice.
Brilliant advice, Holden. Thanks. (A fan from, among other places, WSM and your performing days in Chapel Hill.)
