NOTE

Anchor Your Sleep with Morning Light

Emphasizing bright light therapy can significantly improve sleep quality and overall health. Exposure to natural sunlight in the morning helps anchor your circadian rhythm, signaling the start of your sleep schedule. Even on cloudy days, outdoor light remains beneficial. For those unable to access natural light, using a high-quality light bulb positioned close to the face can serve as an effective alternative. Adequate exposure to bright light is crucial for melatonin production, which combats oxidative stress and supports health. Poor sleep quality, linked to insufficient melatonin due to late-night screen use, may contribute to chronic diseases. Focusing on enhancing sleep, particularly in patients with chronic conditions like Parkinson's, can lead to improved quality of life.
