Blue Light Paradox
- The "blue light paradox" involves both good and bad blue light.
- Shorter wavelength blue is harmful, while longer wavelength (sky blue) is beneficial.
Light Exposure Timing
- Get bright, blue light in the morning, ideally throughout the day.
- Reduce blue light exposure at night to mimic natural light cycles.
Brightness and Color
- Brightness and color work together.
- Even bright red light can disrupt sleep due to melanopsin and rod/cone connections.
