| 0:00.0 | Two things happen once you get light into your eyeball. Number one, the light sends a signal to your pineal gland to turn off the melatonin faucet in your head. |
| 0:07.8 | But there's a second thing that happens at that very moment. And it actually sets a timer for when the melatonin should start again. Are you melatonin deficient? Because 90% of people out there are not. Also, melatonin should never be used in kids. |
| 0:24.3 | If you start to really get into the habits in the morning time, it makes the night time so much easier. |
