Your perceived inability to follow the advice because you live too close to the poles does not mean the advice itself is wrong, and definitely doesn't mean it's stupid. Many people in similar climates to you use sun lamps during winter, for example.
- mrweasel 2y agoIt's not wrong, but I still think it's stupid, because of how it's normally stated. I've never heard it presented as "if your location allows it" or "We understand that that isn't an option for large parts of the world so here an alternative". People have been living in this part of the world for thousands of years, without sun lamps, it might be good if you can get it, but sun light first thing in the morning certainly isn't a requirement. It might be good thing to do, but as general advise, it's has a pretty obviously flaw. That is NEVER address by the type of people who brings us this advise and to me that hurt credibility. "Get sun light into your eyes first thing in the morning", perfect, I'll just sleep until 10.
- strken 2y agoIf I say "it's good to go running a few times a week", do I need to provide alternate advice for people with no legs? Or if I say "a low-sodium diet is healthier", do I need to specify that if you're getting cramps you should go eat some electrolytes? Is the advice bad if I don't cover every single edge case? In my view that's a ridiculous requirement.
