The Extraordinary Power of Light (& Dark) for Sleep & Health - a 30 minute webinar 

#sleep #circadianrhythm #sunlight
My neolithic ancestors lugged massive towers of stone around to celebrate the summer solstice. I took the easy option and went for a webinar.
In this session we explore the health benefits of natural daylight..
- why patients in ICU exposed to sunlight leave hospital faster, and are less likely to suffer from delirium
- why a Frenchman who lived in a cave for 61 nights went a little bit crazy
- why if you're going to buy anything to improve your sleep, I'd vote for a sleep mask.. or, in the winter, a light therapy box.
We also discuss the latest evidence about whether it's really blue light from screens that causes using a phone before bed to be associated with fewer hours of sleep, and worse quality sleep.
This is part of my monthly free series of webinars on sleep science.
