Protokol propojuje cíl s vlnovou délkou, dávkou a načasováním — je to praktický převod světla do každodenní rutiny. Každá položka níže pojmenuje situaci, komu se hodí, cílové vlnové délky, jak dlouho a kdy dávkovat, a k tomu poctivou poznámku o tom, co světlo dokáže a co ne.
Filtrujte podle nástroje a kategorie, nebo prostě popište, co řešíte — jet lag, bolavá kolena, unavenou pleť, málo energie. Každá rutina uvádí své vlnové délky, dávku i načasování, abyste světlo snadno sladili s cílem.

Speed eastward re-entrainment
Crew schedules complicate timing. General phase-advance principle; not crew-medicine advice.
