ADVICE

Light Exposure for Metabolism and Sleep

  • Get at least 1300 lux in the morning to boost metabolism and prevent seasonal depression.
  • For optimal melatonin production, keep lux levels below 10 three hours before bed and below 1 in your sleeping environment.
INSIGHT

Indoor vs. Outdoor Lux

  • Indoor lighting typically provides insufficient lux, even when brightly lit, maxing out around 500 lux.
  • Outdoor light, even on cloudy days, can reach sufficient lux levels (e.g., 1300 lux).
ADVICE

Light Boxes vs. Natural Sunlight

  • Avoid using 10,000 lux light boxes, as they emit excessive blue light, lack other beneficial wavelengths, and can cause side effects.
  • Prioritize natural sunlight exposure, which offers a gradual increase in lux and a balanced spectrum.
