Blue Light that you DO Really Need

Full Spectrum Daylight even on a cloudy day is a very important mood manager & essential for anyone who struggles with mental health issues of any kind. I like the rule that pre-midday outdoor light (even for just 10 mins though more is better) is best medicine for wayward circadian rhythm tendencies & low mood alike. I have full spectrum daylight led bulbs in the areas of the house where I wake up but warm lighting where I slow down. People with Bipolar are enormously sensitive & susceptible to light, Both too much & not enough.

Very general Peer Review Research about the use of full spectrum light for low mood & insomnia.

Which mentions the care required & risk of mania for bipolar sufferers so reminds me that I was working in a confined space with a light box when I got my big high in 2015 that got me diagnosed.

The narrow bandwidth of screen blue light from all our devices is very intense & overstimulating to the nervous system - really, the last thing you need with Anxiety & Depression.
