Light plays a vital role in regulating your body’s internal clock. But when is the best time to use a therapy light — morning or evening? The answer depends on your lifestyle and sleep pattern.
1. Morning Therapy Light Benefits
Using therapy light in the morning helps wake up your body naturally. It reduces melatonin levels, boosts serotonin, and prepares you for the day ahead. If you struggle to get up early or feel groggy after waking, morning sessions are ideal.
2. Evening Therapy Light Use
Evening light therapy can be helpful for shift workers or people who need to stay alert later in the day. However, the light intensity should be lower, and exposure should end at least 2 hours before sleep to avoid disrupting melatonin production.
3. Finding Your Ideal Routine
Try using your therapy light at different times and track how your mood and sleep respond. Many people find morning use most effective for resetting circadian rhythms and improving energy.
4. How to Combine with Your Lifestyle
If you enjoy morning exercise or reading, use the light during these activities. If your schedule is irregular, even short, consistent sessions help your body adjust.
