it is supposed to help with sleep. If you can reduce or eliminate artificial light sources it is good for keeping your circadian rhythm in line. If you need to have light on, red has the least effect.

Also, on the other side, you are supposed to get natural sunlight as close as you can to when you wake up.

@DrFell I'm not sure the effect is really that huge, and for most people it isn't really practical.

But she has had some pretty minor sleep issues that she wants to improve.

And to her credit; the combo of

>breathwork
>caffeine cutoff by 2pm
>reduced post-sunset light [or redlight]
>early morning natural sunlight

Has had her sleeping like a rock for about a month.

I really think the breathwork has had the biggest impact, and anyone can do that.

@DrFell this isn't that kind of red light, but I know what you are talking about. This is just regular red light bulbs to stimulate your eyes less at night.

I can recommend the breathwork stuff. Just doing 4:4:4:4 'box breathing' usually puts me to the edge of sleep at night.
