If you've ever felt jetlagged after a long trip or found it difficult to wake up during winter mornings, you're already familiar with what happens when your circadian rhythm is thrown off balance. One of the most effective tools to reset this internal clock? Light therapy.
Understanding Circadian Rhythm
The circadian rhythm is our body’s 24-hour internal clock that tells us when to sleep, eat, and be alert. It’s heavily influenced by external light — particularly the blue-spectrum light found in natural sunlight.
How Light Therapy Works
Light therapy uses bright, artificial light to mimic the sun and stimulate the brain in the same way morning light does. This helps align your sleep-wake cycle with your desired schedule.
Benefits of Circadian Regulation:
Fall asleep more easily at night
Wake up feeling more refreshed
Improve overall sleep quality
Enhance daytime alertness and mood
Who Should Consider Light Therapy
You might benefit if you:
Struggle with waking up early or falling asleep on time
Experience shift work sleep disorder
Travel across time zones frequently
Feel groggy or sluggish in the morning
Tips for Using Light Therapy
Use your lamp within 30–60 minutes after waking up
Position it at eye level but don’t stare directly at it
Use daily for consistent results
Combine with good sleep hygiene (no screen time before bed, consistent bedtime, etc.)
