Light effects our sleep and our skin

Using Light For Better Skin?

There is a body of evidence that light in the red spectrum triggers collagen synthesis. More collagen in the skin means less wrinkles and healthier skin. Since red light also has no blue spectrum, I use red light at night when it’s convenient. It’s surprisingly simple to install a $25 remote controlled stick-on color LED lighting strip over your bed. Better still, red light triggers the cellular power plants called mitochondria to work better through something called the mitochondrial transport chain. When your cellular energy is higher, you sleep better and you have more energy during the day.

Those twirly shaped bulbs emit blue light and blue light disrupts sleep. Wanna sleep better? Then Turn off the blue twirly lights for an hour before bedtime.
