Sleep and Blue Light with Dr. Martin Moore-Ede
Manage episode 436985840 series 3596293
Dr. Martin Moore-Ede discusses the impact of light on sleep and overall health. He explains how exposure to blue-rich fluorescent lighting disrupts circadian rhythms and leads to chronic sleep deprivation. The invention of electric light and the subsequent shift to LED lights have further exacerbated the problem. Leaving lights on at night, even at low levels, can increase the risk of diabetes, breast cancer, prostate cancer, obesity, and heart disease. Dr. Moore-Ede emphasizes the importance of getting natural daylight exposure in the morning and using blue-free lights in the evening. He also discusses the limitations of blue-blocking glasses and the need for better regulation of light bulbs.----more----
