Sunlight isn’t optional, it’s your body’s control system.

For shift workers, light can either fix your sleep, energy, and mood… or completely wreck it.

In this episode, we break down how different types of light affect your body and how to use a simple “light diet” to make shift work more manageable.

•  How light controls your circadian rhythm (your body clock)
•  Why morning sunlight beats scrolling in a dark room
•  The benefits of red/infrared light for recovery and calm 
•  Why blue light helps in the morning but harms you at night
•  The role of full-spectrum light (green, yellow, UV) 
•  How modern life creates “dim days, bright nights”
•  Practical strategies to improve sleep even on night shift
