      “Lite is making your body later”
      That’s very wrong and you know it.
      There must be a reason why so much people left comments about it. Here’s some new propositions;
      “Monitor light alters the body's internal sleep clock”

      “Light at Night Can Interfere With Your Sleep”

      “Too much light impacts the quality of sleep”

      “Bright light at night interferes with your sleep”

      Anyway…

        @maxime It's in reference to the circadian rhythm. It's the most succinct way to say it as accurately as possible.

          Hi @maxime - no we do not agree it is wrong. It's there for a reason, which is that your body is made up of clocks that entrain to light. That's all it says and it's true.

          It would be wrong to say it's a psychological trick or a thing that only involves sleep or a little suggestion, it's actually pretty fundamental to our biology and we want more people to know about it.

          Here is a paper that explains how half the proteins in the body are rhythmic based on when your eyes see light - the truth is that your body has billions of clocks, and they're everywher. In some ways, you can choose to have them work well or not, by giving them a strong day-night signal. This is the way immunity, digestion, repair are regulated by the body, and why timing of light is so important.
