When talking about our health and wellness we center our focus around things like nutrition, exercise, meditation, mindfulness etc. But there’s one large component we’ve been ignoring, or at least taking for granted.
And that’s sunlight.
But just how much does this compromise our health? Well, the short answer is it pretty much affects every aspect of it. Let’s start by talking about how light is absorbed – through the eyes.
Harness the power of daylight
From fine-tuning focus to elevating mood, light aligns our body’s rhythm for peak performance. Whether it’s sharper cognition or optimal metabolism, every ray of light readies us to conquer the day’s challenges.
Daylight directly enhances learning capacities via the perihabenular nucleus (PHb) connection.
Daylight signals the brain’s mood centers, leading to the release of serotonin, and other “feel-good” neurotransmitters. Daylight directly enhances learning capacities via the perihabenular nucleus (PHb).
Light helps regulate hunger through hormones like leptin and ghrelin, aligning our meal times with our body’s readiness.
The VLPO promotes daytime alertness, ensuring we’re engaged while also priming us for the next night’s sleep.
The “master clock” or SCN springs to life with morning light, coordinating our biological systems.
The OPN, IGN, and IGL work in tandem, optimizing visual processing for comfort and adaptability.
Night’s embrace isn’t just about sleep
As melatonin gets released after being built up in the day, our bodies dive deep into repair mode — from immune boosts to muscle growth. Embrace the darkness, and rise rejuvenated, set for success.
The daytime alertness-promoting VLPO now advocates for sleep, guaranteeing a peaceful rest.
As night falls, melatonin ushers in sleep, fortifies our immunity, spurs growth, relaxation, and lets our metabolism rejuvenate for dawn.
As dusk falls, our SCN gracefully moves our body into its rest phase.

These brain chemicals guide our mood, sleep, focus, and much more.
Dictates cortisol levels, managing stress responses.
Modulates digestion and nutrient absorption, ensuring optimal gut health.
Manages fluid balance and toxin filtration, essential for kidney health.
Controls reproductive hormones, impacting fertility and sexual health.
Influences the storage and release of fat, playing a role in weight management.
Directs muscle repair, growth, and strength, boosting physical performance.
Present in nearly every cell, these local clocks coordinate cellular growth, division, and repair for a genetic level.
Oversees cell repair and regeneration, enhancing skin health and appearance.
Regulates thyroid hormones for energy, temperature, and metabolism control.
Governs heart rate and blood pressure, helping maintain optimal circadian cardiovascular function.
Modulates neural activity and cognition, supporting brain health.
Controls immune responses and inflammation, key to warding off infections.
Oversees breathing rates and lung function, for effective oxygen supply.
Regulates detoxification and metabolism, maintaining peak liver function.
Coordinates insulin production and glucose regulation, essential for energy and preventing diabetes.
Regulates female reproductive hormones, influencing fertility and menstrual cycles.
Artificial lighting misses key qualities of sunlight, which can lead to circadian drift. Incorporating the qualities of better and stronger daylight boosts sleep, mood and overall well-being.
This disrupts our body’s rhythms. Embracing better darkness, or light that’s completely rid of blue and other awakening wavelengths enhances sleep quality, mood, and overall health.
Artificial Light Disrupts Your Body’s “Master Clock”. And Your “Master Clock” Does More Than Keep Time. It Influences Almost Every Aspect of Health.
Sunlight supports general well-being by transmitting information to the master clock in our brains via a special photopigment in the eye – melanopsin. Artificial lights don’t capture the qualities of sunlight needed to support a natural sleep-wake cycle.
Research shows that experiencing a natural sunlight experience, with enough sky blue light in the day and none at night – promotes better sleep, reduced fatigue, and increased focus and productivity.
