@amandarose I love that! Currently outside for sunrise and have been good about doing this most days of the week…trying to give myself grace if I miss one here and there. And at night I switched to amber light bulbs (one of the brands Sarah K recommended). It feels good. I’ve been going through a busy stretch and just returned from travel…
