Nocturnals are meant to sleep on their food

Question: Thanks, Ra. If you have the 6 Color (eating in dark) is it okay and healthy to eat during the day in the shadow?

Ra: Eating in the day in the shadow—you can eat during the daytime, though it's not a good idea. But the only way you can do that is in an environment that is free of ultra violet light. A shadow doesn't help that. You can be sitting under an umbrella and the ultraviolet light is going to penetrate it. The fact is that to be a nocturnal is really to be a nocturnal. It’s very difficult for adults to embrace that. It is quite a challenge and quite a step. But the only way that you can sort of cheat that is they have UV screens, ultraviolet light screens, the kinds of things that you can put on windows to block ultraviolet light from entering a room. So, if you block out the ultraviolet light and the room is relatively darkened, then yes, without damage you can take sustenance into your body.

But cheating the clock is not going to do you any good because eating during the daytime, regardless of the conditions that you establish, even though they're not directly negative for you, are going to affect your digestion. Nocturnals are designed to sleep on their food. Something that's very, very important for them is to sleep on their food. If you're not sleeping on your food, you're not taking advantage of the kind of nutrition that is going to make a difference in terms of the way in which your brain system operates.
