What are specific studies supporting the sleep protocols outlined: 1. Sleep duration: Is 7-9 hours of sleep ideal for most people? Should one try different sleep durations (e.g., one week at 7h, then 8h, then 9h) to find out what works best for them? What are the implications of needing an alarm clock or sleeping more during stressful phases?
3. Sunlight in the morning: What does research say about going outside for 10-15 minutes within an hour of waking up (without sunglasses or a cap) to send the body a "wake-up signal"? How does this affect the brain's timer for making one tired after about 16 hours?
2. Fixed sleeping times: What are the benefits of going to bed at the same time every day and setting an alarm clock? How does establishing a sleep routine affect waking up in the morning and falling asleep in the evening?
