Seattle AWIS hosted a book talk by a local science writer
Lynne Peeples on her new book:
The Inner Clock - Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms.
Some takeaways:
- make day brighter (bluer light), and night darker (redder light)
- eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper
- make the time of sleep, eat, excerce more regular per day
- restricting food intake to daylight (reduce the time difference between the first and the last meal of the day)
- to reduce jet lag, stimulate with light more towards waking up, rather than closer to going to sleep
Not too many people came. Some were on Zoom. Not all women either. Those who came are very nice. I ended up chatting with an old guy who biked around world ~40 years ago.
The president of AWIS, Tracy E. Popowics, gave a short speech. She's not a good speaker.
I find the treasurer - Reitha Weeks very nice and she speaks well.
