Awakening to Light: Returning to Nature’s Rhythm
Summary
Light shapes biology. When spectrum and timing drift, circadian rhythms falter, degrading sleep, cognition, and long-term health. We move from hard science to possibility: technology that calibrates light to natural circadian cues, paired with daily practices - meditation, breath, mindful routines - to restore rhythm.
