Light Impact Guide explores how both natural and artificial light profoundly influence our health, impacting sleep, mood, and overall wellbeing. Drawing from photobiology and circadian science, the book reveals the critical role light plays in regulating our biological systems. For instance, artificial light, especially blue light from screens, can disrupt our natural circadian rhythms, leading to sleep disorders and mood imbalances.
The book progresses from introducing the basics of photobiology and circadian rhythms to examining light's properties and its impacts on sleep, mood, and hormone regulation. It then investigates the effects of various artificial lights and concludes with a practical guide to healthy lighting practices.
A unique aspect is its emphasis on personalized lighting strategies, acknowledging individual needs and preferences, making the book exceptionally valuable for those interested in understanding and optimizing their light environment for better health.
