Phototherapy (light) — practical overview

Light can be a powerful biological signal. In practice this usually means: morning daylight to anchor circadian rhythm, and (optionally) controlled red/near‑infrared light for recovery. Benefits depend on dose, timing, and individual sensitivity.

  • Daylight: 5–15 minutes outdoors soon after waking (longer on cloudy days). No staring at the sun.
  • Evening: reduce bright/blue light 1–2 hours before bed to support melatonin and sleep quality.
  • Red/NIR devices: keep expectations realistic; start low, avoid overheating, and stop if headaches or agitation occur.

Safety note: photosensitivity can be increased by certain medications (e.g., some antibiotics, retinoids) and conditions. When in doubt, ask a clinician.
