1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: On seven hundred wlwoh, yes, the time change. You wake up, 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: it's dark outside, you get home from work, it's dark outside, 3 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: just darkness and developing like we need this right now. Well, 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: all the bad news in the world, it just makes 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: things worse. Doctor Catherine Athens is a expert in this 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: area and author of numerous books. And there's a connection 7 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: between the darkness and our mental health. We all know 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: about this, but what new information is there out there? 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: And how do you cope with it? As we lose 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: time another hour this weekend, Doctor Catherine, good morning, how 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: are you? 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: I'm fine, Thank you, good morning, thanks for having me, 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: and good morning to all your listeners as well. 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm already just thinking about the time change, getting depressed. 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 3: I know. It's funny. 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: When I was younger, I mean, I love cold weather, 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: love the snow and all that stuff. But the fifteen 18 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: hours of darkness a day, it really hasn't effect the 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: owner I get the worst it is? Is there some 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: is there connecting with an age and lack of sunlight? 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: Well, we don't get as much sunlight when we get older, 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: do We were not outside playing all the time? You know, 23 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: kids are outside, We tell them go outside. And play 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: and although you know with a digital age it may 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: have changed a lot. But adults are behind a desk, 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: usually sitting under a fluorescent light, which is not good 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: for the brain at all. And usually we're stooped over, 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: we're dehydrated, we're drinking coffee to stay away, or maybe 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 2: eating that nice jelly donut, and we're just trying to 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: brace ourselves to get through the day. So the thing 31 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: to do in the morning is to drink some warm water. 32 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: You can drink it with lemon. You can put a 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: little bit of apple cider vinegar in there, which is 34 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: good for cleaning the kidneys and the liver, which are 35 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: two organs that help get rid of poisons. So why 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: do we get depressed? We become over poxified in our 37 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 2: bodies because we're stationary and the things we eat aren't 38 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: necessarily nurishing. They taste good, though, So I tell people 39 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: think about the basics. Think about doing some deep breathing, 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: starting your day with an affirmation of something positive. Think 41 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: about that during the day, and sip water. Bring a 42 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: water bottle or water container, sip it all day. The 43 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: brain needs water to function, and most of us are dehydrated, especially. 44 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: When you're inside and the air is dryer, it's not 45 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: as humid, you're not, so you spend more time in 46 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: die Why you get sick because you're dried out. So 47 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: hydration is a critical thing to remaining well in the 48 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: winter months, for sure. What does a lemon do for me? 49 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: Though? How does that? 50 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: Does that beat depression in the lack of sunlight? Is 51 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: it's vitamin C. 52 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: It's vitamin C. But it also helps to cleanse the liver. 53 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: And you know, God bless our livers because they're always 54 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: pulling toison out of our bloodstreams for us and trying 55 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: to get rid of it so it doesn't circulate so 56 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: much around the body, and the limit helps the liver 57 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: do that. It also helps the kidneys to function, and 58 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: it helps the water to taste better so you'll drink it. Sure, 59 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: So there's lots of good reasons. You know. The thought 60 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: of this darkness is horrific for people. So I help 61 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 2: people look start by getting out in the sun more 62 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: often when there is sun. Try to take your lunch 63 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: break and maybe take something like this sandwich that you 64 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: can eat while you're slowly walking, or go to the 65 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: park and sit in the sun. And they have a 66 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: little bite to eat, so that way you're getting more sun. 67 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: Even though we're not getting more sun, that will help 68 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: the brain a. 69 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: Lot, right, But I mean, here's the problem here, doctor 70 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: Catherine Athens. Here's the problem with Cincinnati, Ohio. Problem with Cincinnati, 71 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Ohio is we literally will not see the sun until 72 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: opening day this year when the red started, and even 73 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: then that may be again, but there may be a 74 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: couple hours. I think in the next six months we'll 75 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: see the sun. But it's just a mere rumor. It's 76 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: actually a lot of people right around April start to 77 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: question whether or not the sun actually exists, if it's 78 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: not just one of those Internet rumors or a myth 79 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: or fake news or something like that, because we're pretty 80 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: sure after by the time we get through February that 81 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: the sun just doesn't exist anymore. 82 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, there are things you can do. 83 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: There is something called full spectrum light bulbs that you 84 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: can buy and replace your light bulbs at home with 85 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: the full spectrum because part of the seasonal effective disorder, 86 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: that depression, is we're not getting some of the spectrum 87 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 2: of the sun. If you're really bad off, there are 88 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: machines that you can buy. They're not too expensive, and 89 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: they will you can sit have them sit in front 90 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: of you. You can watch TV or listen to the 91 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: radio and they will project full spectrum light at you. 92 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: Okay, how many? How many hours? 93 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: You know? 94 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: My wife got me one last year of Christmas. I 95 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: said I'm gonna try. I never used it because I'm 96 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: just naturally positive. As you can tell here. I'm a 97 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: national treasure, is what I am. Doctor, and I have 98 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: a user. Yeah, I plan on maybe cracking that thing. 99 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: Now? 100 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: How long? 101 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: How many hours a day? If you've got the happy 102 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: light as they call them, they're pretty cheap. You can 103 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: get on Amazon too. I didn't know about the light bulbs. 104 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: You could full spectrum light bulbs and the same thing. 105 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: So if you got your I don't know, your easy 106 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: chair next to your couture, you know, light next to 107 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: your touch plays, use that when you're sitting there watching TV. 108 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 3: How many hours a day do you need that? 109 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: Though not very many? Actually you could start off with 110 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 2: maybe two, one in the morning and one in the evening. 111 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: You know, maybe two. If you don't have two, start 112 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: off with twenty minutes a few times a day if 113 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 2: you're home, but at least twenty minutes at a time, 114 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: and it's really very useful. It helps a lot. It 115 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: helps to retard that sad kind of syndrome in the 116 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: winter with no light. Another thing is, if it's too 117 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: cold to go outside, do some aerobic exercise inside. Get 118 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: the blood going through your body, you know, get circulation 119 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: going along with the light, and that will help the 120 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: feeling of sadness and depression. It will actually make you 121 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: feel better, more positive. 122 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 3: Well, exercise is good for you. 123 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean I noticed in the days that if I 124 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: go a few days between workouts, I notice I start 125 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: to get a little more tired and irritable than I 126 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: normally am. And it's because I'm missing my workout. So 127 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: I get that. Doctor Katin Athens on the show this 128 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: morning on seven hundred WLW got the time change. We 129 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: lose an hour and now darkness will encompass us and 130 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: develop us here for the next five months, roughly in Cincinnati, 131 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: we won't see the sun maybe for a couple of minutes, 132 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: I think, in the next five months here too. Some 133 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: may say the sun was cut out in an extreme 134 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: some sort of extreme budget cut or something like that, 135 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: and or maybe the sun was captured and stolen by 136 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: aliens or we just don't get You will not see 137 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the sun for quite some time in Cincinnati that south 138 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: is Does that effect your sleep then too? I know 139 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: that sun and sleep generally are at odds with one another, 140 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: but does it mess with a sleep cycle too? 141 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: It absolutely does. Our sleep cycle or circadian rhythms all 142 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: get off. So I ask people to go to bed 143 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: that hour earlier. Even though it says, you know, it 144 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: says four o'clock, it is actually five. So go to 145 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: bed when you normally go to bed for a while, 146 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: and then you can increase your bedtime maybe ten minutes 147 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: each week, but go to bed. Try to maintain those 148 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: same habits you have and get a lot of sleep. 149 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: And yes, the sun, the sun activates trying to think 150 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: of the name of the organs in the back of 151 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: your head, and when you're in the sun, they're activated. 152 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: When you're in the dark, they secrete melatonin. So you 153 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: want to be in a dark room to sleep, but 154 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: you want to have had some full spectrum light, whether 155 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: it be the happy machine or you're light bulb, or 156 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: for some reason there is some sunshine. Because that balance 157 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: is the brain. Now you notice in the winter time, 158 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: people become less friendly, more irritable, just because we're not 159 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: moving as much and we're not drinking enough water. I mean, 160 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: just think about the holidays here. You don't drink all year, 161 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: and you don't eat much, and suddenly you're drinking like 162 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: crazy on Thanksgiving. You're eating all kinds of stuff you 163 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: never eat the rest of the year, and then you 164 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: feel miserable and you go, why am I feeling so bad? 165 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 166 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm living my life like a medieval 167 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: king or something. I'm eating literally just eating giant geese 168 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: neck and the drumsticks, and I'm drinking wine and meat, 169 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: and I'm just having a black asked. But then you 170 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: feel like crap after. It's kind of like when you 171 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: eat all the Halloween candy, the same. 172 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: Thing, right, right, So don't I tell people don't use moderation. 173 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's no fun. That's no fun though, It's 174 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: it's uh. I. I I'm the other extreme though. I 175 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: believe in everything in its excess. I think if you 176 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: I think it'll balance, it balances. I'll work out for 177 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: three straight days and I'm gonna eat for nine straight days. 178 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: What about that? 179 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: All? What most people do you're right in the groove. 180 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 2: Oh I worked out? Why am I gaining weight? When 181 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 2: did you work out last week? 182 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Oh? 183 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I don't. 184 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 3: Want to rush into anything. I could strain something. 185 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. 186 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to jump in 187 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: this exercise thing. You know, Well, at the time change 188 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: here and losing an hour sleep. It's also to trying 189 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: to get your body set because uh, you know the 190 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: week when they tell you the clock changes, and then 191 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: it take a week to get your body right again. 192 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: Is it better? Is it kind of like jet legs? 193 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: Should you just go to bed at the same time? 194 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: Or yes, go to bed at the same time. We 195 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: actually gain an hour, but the hour we gain is darkness. 196 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: So go to bed at the same time, get up 197 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: at the same time, and then slowly work into the 198 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: new time zone. You know, if you can go to 199 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: bed at the same time, get up at the same time. 200 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: Drink your water. Now, if you want to know how 201 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: much water you should add, take your body weight. Say 202 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: you weigh one fifty, divide it in half. That's seventy 203 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: five and those are ounces. You need seventy five ounces 204 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: of water a day, which is huge it's more than 205 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 2: half a gallon. 206 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's something you sip on a little 207 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: bit of water all day. Go I had like two 208 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: bottles of water. That's not it's not from it. And 209 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: then if you're active, you need even more water. 210 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: For that matter, if you're active, you need more water. 211 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: And so the brain doesn't function without water. It doesn't function. 212 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: Functions on glucose, water and amino acids. And most of 213 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: us don't get enough amino acids because we're dieting or 214 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: we're eating some kind of green and we're not looking 215 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: at the fact. We need a variety of amino acids 216 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: for the brain to function properly. But we also need 217 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: each other. We need human interaction face to face for 218 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: the brain and the neural pathways to function properly. I recommend, 219 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 2: if you do nothing else, go to the market or 220 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 2: the hardware store or the Walmart, whatever, and start saying 221 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: hello to people, Hello, how are you good morning? 222 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: What if you just hate people? Is there no hope 223 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: for you? Is it terminal? What's going on there? Doctor? 224 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 2: Oh, it could be no. 225 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: The reels, I don't go it's because people piss me off. 226 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: Okay, well, well that's another story. 227 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Just too many idiots in the world. I think people 228 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: are listening to the going right slowan. There's too many 229 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: idiots in the world, and that's why I tend to 230 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: just stay home and eat and be mindless of myself. 231 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: All right, we have do you think as a doctor 232 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: and you studied this stuff again on the show this morning. 233 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: It's doctor Catherine Athens, and she is an expert in 234 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: the area of sleep. And we've got one in five 235 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: Americans experiencing winter blues, according to the Cleveland Clinic. And 236 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: they would know because there's no more depressing place in 237 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: the world in Cleveland. So the Cleveland Clinic people, I 238 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: would agree with them, and maybe even two and five 239 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: at this point too. But she's a clinical and health 240 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: psychologist and she's on the show talking about the time 241 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: change here and what that means for you, how to 242 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: combat with happy lights and making sure you're getting hydrated 243 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: well enough and all that. Should we get away with 244 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: daylight savings time in the clock four o'clock back? 245 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: Nonsense, you bet you we should. And in California we 246 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: voted I think six years ago to do away with that, 247 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: but we still have to do it. Someone isn't listening 248 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: to the people over here. 249 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: Well we have that problem here too. So it's not 250 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: just Ohio, it's also California. 251 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, so big what is here? 252 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: But yes, time change the least of those problems you 253 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: got over there, that's for dam I'm sure. So uh yeah, 254 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,239 Speaker 1: it seems to me. I just keep one steady, constant 255 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: time and we're good there this, you know, jumping back 256 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: and forth every six months. So really, you know, I 257 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: could see back in the day where you needed natural 258 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: daylight in order to get stuff done. But we have 259 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: electricity now, we've had electricity at least I think for 260 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: the last three or four years. 261 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: I believe, well we do. But you know, the charcoal 262 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: lobby wanted this daylight savings time because they found out 263 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: that was another hour or so of sunlight. They make 264 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: more money, the charcoal lobby. The charcoal lobby, no idea, 265 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: blame them for this. 266 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: Good lord, there's a big big charcoals behind all this 267 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: big kings. Yeah, yeah, there's a lobby for any you've 268 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: got politicians, you'll have a you'll have a lobby. 269 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. 270 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: So doctor Catherine Athnes Athens at H A.
