I have wondered for some time if the fact that my mother did not like to go outside much contributed to her dementia. Some studies on vitamin D seem to show a link. If we really need as much as Hollis and others suggest, then most Northerner are very deficient. I choose to supplement and have my blood tested for optimal results.
I am not quite clear on what the "mean" time means. As a child and as a teen, I tended to go to sleep around 9 pm, and wake up at 5 ish to do my homework. These days I've been have a lot of trouble sleeping more than 5 or 6 hours (I am 60) and I tend to go to bed later. I wonder if returning to 9 or 10 PM would help me get 7 or 8 hours of sleep. Probably, it would.
