Circadian anchoring audit — morning light + sleep timing + caffeine — Anchorage.

At high latitude, winter mornings are dark for hours after wake and summer nights never fully darken, so the circadian clock loses its strongest cue and sleep, mood, and metabolism drift with the season. A light-and-timing audit builds a deliberate anchoring plan around the extremes.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

1-2 week sleep-wake + morning-light + caffeine baseline (with day-to-day variability) + a coached anchoring plan (consistent wake time, morning light, evening dimming, caffeine cutoff), one habit at a time

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• a 1-2 week sleep-wake + light + caffeine log (or app export)
• note on shift-work / travel / known circadian, sleep, or mood disorder
• a lux estimate or time-outdoors record for morning light
• clock
• clinician-referral note for red flags

Steps

1. 1. Record the 1-2 week baseline: usual sleep and wake times and their day-to-day variability ('social jetlag'), morning light (time outdoors or by a bright window within ~1-2 h of waking), evening light (screens/bright light before bed), and caffeine timing + amount.
2. 2. Note shift work, frequent travel, or any diagnosed sleep/circadian/mood disorder — these change the plan and may need a clinician.
3. 3. Assess morning light: is there ~10+ minutes of outdoor/bright light within 1-2 hours of waking on most days? Flag the gap as the primary anchor.
4. 4. Assess caffeine timing: is the last dose >=8-10 hours before target bedtime (half-life ~5-6 h)? Flag late caffeine.
5. 5. Set a coached protocol: a consistent wake time (+/-30-60 min) 7 days a week, morning outdoor light, dimmer/warmer evening light, and a caffeine cutoff; progress one habit at a time.
6. 6. Record the baseline, the identified gaps, and the coached plan; sign. Route any red flag to a clinician (or crisis support).

What counts as done

• 1-2 week log of sleep + wake times with day-to-day variability ('social jetlag') noted
• Morning-light exposure (time outdoors/bright within ~1-2 h of waking) and evening-light habits recorded
• Caffeine timing + amount recorded and checked against a ≥8-10 h pre-bed cutoff
• Coached anchoring plan (consistent wake time, morning light, evening dimming, caffeine cutoff), one habit at a time, with red flags routed to a clinician

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
