It has been a while since we have focused our attention on light therapy and sleep. For this Insomnia Monday, I thought a revisiting of light therapy might be in order. In this episode we will:

  • Touch on new research that serves to minimize the role that blue light plays in terms of sleep harm
  • Look at other colors of light and how that might affect sleep and health
  • Evaluate research looking at light therapy and insomnia
  • Expand our thinking about insomnia into a place that includes circadian disorders and causes/contributors
