Improve Sleep with Red-Light

Would you like to get a better night's sleep? Visit RedSpectrum 24 up to 4 times a week for optimal results.

Here's why.

Red-light wavelengths (around 630–700 nm) have minimal impact on melanopsin, the light-sensitive protein in the eyes that responds strongly to blue light.

• Blue light suppresses melatonin production (the sleep hormone), but red light does not.
• Evening exposure to red light can actually help signal to the brain that it’s time to wind down, supporting a healthy circadian rhythm.

Some studies show red and near-infrared light can increase natural melatonin levels:

• By reducing oxidative stress in the pineal gland (which produces melatonin)
• By promoting nitric oxide release and better blood flow, supporting hormonal balance

Red-light therapy boosts ATP production in brain and muscle cells, improving cellular efficiency.

• This may reduce nighttime muscle discomfort, headaches, or stress that can interfere with falling asleep.

• Zhao et al., 2012 (Journal of Athletic Training) – Female athletes exposed to red-light therapy before bed for 14 days had improved sleep quality and increased melatonin levels.
• Figueiro & Rea, 2010 – Found that exposure to low-level red light before bedtime did not suppress melatonin, unlike blue or white light, and supported better circadian alignment.
• Huang et al., 2019 – Demonstrated that photobiomodulation reduced oxidative stress and improved hormonal regulation, potentially enhancing sleep quality.

✅ In short: Red-Light Therapy may improve sleep by supporting circadian rhythm, boosting natural melatonin production, reducing nighttime discomfort, and promoting overall relaxation—helping the body and mind wind down for restful sleep.
