A new study shows that bright light therapy can help seniors get better sleep.
According to a report by Health Day, new research published in the Journal of Pineal Research finds that “light therapy lamps improved the sleep cycles and activity levels of older adults in cities who had diminished exposure to natural light.”
The new study provides “real-world evidence that light is a simple, non-pharmacological and potentially cost-effective intervention, which, from a public health policy perspective, could help support healthy aging.”
