Andrew himself stated in a Q&A, that if you are unable to view or be in sunlight upon dawn then viewing the sun going down is viable as well, since it regulates your circadian rythym.

I wake up at 430am and go to bed at 8pm to be up at 430am. Both are impossible for me.

And what do I do in an office job in the northern US mid-winter where it is dark when I enter the building and dark when I leave?

Right like where I live for most of the winter months I am at work before the sun is up and it’s set before I’m out of work. Guess I’ll have to tell my job I need to change my hours because some guy on YouTube said I need sunlight

Dr Huberman covered this on his podcast, if I recall he said although they're not as effective as the sun, sunlamps are a pretty good at replicating the effects.

This always gets me. I'm up at 4:45 to go to the gym, then shower, get dressed, and eat breakfast up at the club too, where the men's locker room and lounge are literally underground. So it's night when I wake up, and when the sun is coming up I'm underground with no windows so can't see it. It threw my mornings off for like a year before I finally got used to it.

I use an insanely bright light mounted overhead after I wake up as I live far north. Has made a huge difference for me.
