IF MIGRAINE HEADACHES ARE IN YOUR LIFE, READ THIS
This is only a pilot study, but it shows a lesson for you to consider changing in your own life. It says clearly that Circadian Rhythm disruption (dark days and bright nights) increased the number of these kinds of these types of headaches women get AND increased their severity. Migraines are stroboscopic effects of circadian disruption of the Muller cells in your retina. They cause many collateral effects on your non-visual photoreceptor system in the eye and brain.
The women with circadian rhythm disruption got almost DOUBLE the number of migraines each month!
Simply increasing the amount of sleep did not fix the problem as there is a such thing as bad sleep. For instance, drugging yourself to sleep with pills or antihistamines, alcohol, or sleeping at the wrong time, while blasting yourself with artificial light from your iPhone before bed and reducing the amount of melatonin released from your mitochondria
If you are blasting yourself with nnEMF while using an iPhone or TV light at night, followed by waking up and blasting yourself with more phone or screen light before you see the real sun and then spending most of the day working indoors under artificial lights, guess what?
You got major circadian rhythm disruption in your life whether you know it or not.
Your circadian migraine prescription is..........simple

See real unfiltered sunlight first thing in the morning before anything else. You need to reset and advance your circadian phase. This means you need the super bright light of the sun when you get up in the morning. If it is winter and/or you can get outside in the morning you can use a bright bank of incandescent lights, a bright red light therapy machine (maybe), or a modified SAD light. I will always push you hard toward AM sunlight because it is best. Nothing replaces its effectiveness.
Get outside multiple times during the day for circadian rhythm reinforcing and melatonin-building sunlight breaks. Turn off or block all artificial light at night by wearing blue light-blocking glasses as recommended by this physician.
SUMMARY
Migraines are due to the ambient light present in your environment. It is mediated through Muller cells in the retina.
I built my Leptin Rx around the idea that artificial light through the eye’s central retinal pathways affected the hypothalamic neurons that control many vegetative functions in man. In fact, Aponte found that artificial light via the eye stimulates pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), and agouti-related peptide (AGRP) neurons acutely regulate feeding behavior. Aponte found that AGRP-induced hyperphagia is independent of melanocortin signaling. This told us light alone could cause obesity. Now we have similar data developing on migraines: These headaches result from a stroboscopic effect via the Muller cells into the hypothalamic pathways of the brain and decreased current in DHA and CSF superconductors. The stroboscopic effect occurs when a flashing light source illuminates a moving object. This effect, created by the flickering of the surrounding light, is harmful to the vision and causes discomfort, visual fatigue, and headaches. Fluorescent & LED are the lights associated with this effect most.
Researchers used H2 15O (radioactive water) to measure regional cerebral blood flow as a surrogate marker for neuronal activation.
They found that compared with baseline scans, there was activation in several key areas, including the hypothalamus, an area involved in low-level regulation of sleep, appetite, mood, and fluid balance. "It seems likely that the hypothalamus is pivotal in the onset of migraine
Bright days, dark nights always. No exceptions.

6 天前Dr. Kruse, thank you for such an insightful article! Over the past few months, I’ve been incorporating many of your recommendations to improve my circadian rhythm, such as watching the sunrise and spending more time outdoors. For context, I work at a computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Despite my efforts, I still face a recurring issue: spending 2–3 hours in the sun often triggers a migraine.?I find this puzzling since sunlight is supposed to be beneficial, unlike blue light, which tends to worsen the problem. Do you have any insights on why this might be happening? Thank you! ??
