Light and Circadian Rhythms

Exposure to sunlight in the morning is essential, but managing artificial light in the evening poses a challenge in modern life. Melanopsin cells in the retina play a crucial role in regulating light intake, and dimming screens or using desk lamps can help mitigate the impact of bright overhead lighting. While blue blockers can assist in reducing certain wavelengths, they are not a complete solution; it’s important to create a low-light environment to support healthy circadian rhythms.
