   Dopamine codes for repetition of good choices for survival in our species, in case you were wondering. That repetition does not have to be all positive or all negative. It can be both of a combo of both and still help us in many obtuse ways. The better balanced the system is, the better choices we make and the more likely it is we will survive a long time without illness. How we perceive that environmental cues are most critical to learning and survival. The dopamine system is often misstated as the reward system by researchers. When it carries a negative connotation, it’s the reward SEEKING a…

   The reason for this is because our eyes have become dopamine factories for our frontal lobes because they have evolved a unique way to use UV light and tyrosine to make more dopamine. This is how dopamine relates to time. The more dopamine we have the less sleep we need to regenerate. The less we have the more sleep we need. As we age, we lose dopamine because the lens of the human eye does not allow UV free passage as it did in youth. When this occurs, less dopamine is made. As a result, less ocular melatonin is made and older humans cannot sleep long enough to regenerate and diseases of agin…

   Yes is the short answer, and that is why I took a jet plane plane up past the 63 parallel and climbed into a deep dark cold hole hole to see if I could overcome procrastination and increase my decision making acutely without using drugs like cycloset. Anyone who reads this blog knows that leptin sensitivity is directly tied to dopamine levels on a very basic level. ***If you are LR you, by definition, have an altered dopamine level in your brain, pure and simple. It also means at the core, your mitochondria just flat don’t work well when dopamine levels are poor.***

   *Making dopamine begins with the interaction of UV light and tyrosine for humans. There is another key link also tied to UV light I mentioned in [Ubi 24 blog](https://jackkruse.com/ubiquitination-24-are-myopia-light-and-aging-linked/).* Bright full spectrum outdoor light stimulates the release of the retinal transmitter dopamine, which is known to be able to block the axial growth of the eye, which can also lead to eye elongation. Bright full spectrum light contains UVA light. When UV light is missing dopamine levels are lower in the eye. Anytime dopamine is lowered, it also changes the size a…

   This internal drive for transformation begins in your retina and slowly becomes “the fire” in your gut we call intuition. It is how intuition is built from the rubble of your failures. It cannot be extinguished by the people who suck the reason for life, or from life. You will see the energy vampires around you must limit them. You become fully invested and committed to new ideas and beliefs that might lead you to a meeting with success no matter the odds you currently face. Dopamine awakens the wild human within. It makes us want to be driven, motivated, filled with passion, for good things, …
