July 2022: Brighter days

Buffalo walking

 

In the northern latitudes especially, people tend to celebrate longer days. There’s no mystery why. Those who live in long periods of darkness come to develop a special appreciation for the light.  Longer days can seem brighter, especially in Boulder, which enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year. We know the seasons affect our moods, often for the better. There are psychological and physiological reasons for this, but it’s enough just to enjoy the time.

Child sleeping soundly

Even minor exposure to light before bedtime may disrupt a preschooler’s sleep

A new study out of Monique K. LeBourgeois's Sleep and Development Laboratory shows when preschoolers are exposed to even dim light in the hour before bedtime it can significantly lower levels of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin, potentially disrupting sleep. The research serves as a reminder to parents to turn off electronics and dim the lights to promote healthy sleep in children.
