Light as Medicine
Exploring the Healing Potential of Light
What do We Know About Light?
Let there be light, and it was good. Every day we are finding more ways that light can benefit us health wise. Exposure to bright light can increase serotonin levels, improving mood and alleviating symptoms of depression. Just standing in sunlight can increase Vitamin D.
Light therapy helps regulate sleep-wake cycles, making it beneficial for those with insomnia or shift work disorder. Lifewave has a phototherapy patch called Silent Night. It is reported to influence melatonin?production, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. By stimulating certain acupuncture points with light, the patch is said to enhance melatonin secretion naturally, which in turn helps promote better sleep patterns. I have worked with a client in Oklahoma that has a sleep number bed, and apparently, it can tell you how well you slept. She reported a much better sleep report and felt more refreshed in the morning after using the light technology.
It has been found that certain wavelengths of light can help treat conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema. For people feeling lethargic during darker months, light therapy can boost energy levels. Best for last: it is non-Invasive: It's a non-invasive treatment option with relatively few side effects compared to medications.

Bright Light Therapy -
Bright light therapy is used to manage circadian rhythm disorders such as delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), a condition which shifts the normal sleeping pattern outside what is considered the social norm. People who have DSPS generally don't fall asleep until several hours after midnight and have trouble waking up in the morning, making adhering to a normal work or school schedule difficult. However, if allowed to follow their own schedules, their quality of sleep is otherwise normal.
Bright light therapy is used to gradually shift sleeping patterns to what we consider normal. For treatment, the timing of light exposure is critical. For DSPS, the light must be delivered to the retina as soon after spontaneous awakening as possible to achieve the desired effect. People have also reported success with lights that turn on shortly before awakening, to simulate dawn. Morning use may also be effective for non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome, while evening use is recommended for advanced sleep phase syndrome. There is less data about the effectiveness of light therapy for advanced sleep phase syndrome than there is for morning light exposure in delayed sleep phase syndrome.Article content MORE From Stanford Medicine
