🌞Moonlight and firelight do not reset the circadian clock as they do not activate the melanopsin retinal neurons that signal daytime.
🔴Red light can potentially benefit mitochondrial function in the photoreceptors of the retina, helping with age-related decline.
💡Most commercially available red lights are too bright and can disrupt sleep. Dim red lights can be used at night to avoid the negative effects of light.
🎛️Light intensity and timing are critical. Blue light should be avoided in the evening, while red light exposure should be appropriate to the time of day.
🌗Moonlight may have a minimal impact on sleep, but excessive brightness could potentially affect sleep quality.
