The Role of Light in Sleep
Light exposure can play a role in regulating our internal sleep-wake cycles. Blue light, specifically, is often associated with daylight and may signal to the body that it is time to be awake.
Supporting Infant Sleep Rhythms
Infants are gradually developing their own sleep rhythms. Managing their environment may support this natural progression.
- Reducing exposure to bright screens before bedtime can be associated with smoother transitions to sleep.
- Creating a dimly lit environment in the evening may support the body's natural melatonin production.
