Morning Light Exposure
Exposure to at least 100,000 lux of light before 9:00 a.m. is crucial for setting your circadian clock and optimizing mental and physical health. Natural sunlight is the best source, as even on cloudy days, it significantly outshines artificial lights. If natural light isn't available, consider using specialized artificial lights, but remember that sunlight offers unique benefits. Prioritize capturing this light early to avoid the circadian dead zone later in the day.In this clip

What does Andrew Huberman recommend for accumulating 100,000 Luxx minutes of light exposure in the morning in the episode Using Science to Optimize Sleep, Learning & Metabolism | Huberman Lab Podcast #3 and the clip Circadian Light Insights? Is the recommendation of five minutes if the illumination from the sun is 20,000 Lux or about 15 minutes if the illumination is 7,000 Lux still valid for quantifying how much time I need to spend getting light exposure based on the brightness of the sun on a given morning?

What about accumulating 100,000 Luxx minutes of light exposure in the morning? I remember Andrew Huberman recommended five minutes if the illumination from the sun is 20,000 Lux or about 15 minutes if the illumination is 7,000 Lux. He hasn't brought up this concept in many follow-up episodes on sleep. Is this still a valid recommendation for quantifying how much time I need to spend getting light exposure based on the brightness of the sun on a given morning?
