Understanding the Hidden Impact of Light on Your Body's Natural Rhythms
Long before architects designed our homes or engineers created artificial light, humans lived in synchrony with the sun's natural rhythms. This primal connection wasn't just about seeing our environment—it was a complex biological dance that evolved over millions of years, orchestrating everything from our sleep patterns to our cognitive performance.
Today, we spend over 90% of our time indoors, surrounded by artificial light that often fails to provide the biological signals our bodies need. But a revolution in lighting science is changing this paradigm. By understanding how our bodies actually process light—beyond just what we see—we can create indoor environments that support our natural rhythms and enhance our well-being in profound ways. Let’s delve further into the science behind Circadian lighting and how it impacts us.
