Abstract
|
|
|
|
Circadian rhythm is the internal clock that regulates physiological functions, including the sleep-wake cycle. Advancements in technology and lifestyle have negatively impacted the circadian rhythm, resulting in numerous sleep disorders. Because light is the most important “zeigeber” for synchronizing the circadian system, light therapy is effective for circadian rhythm sleep disorders. We compared light therapy glasses with a traditional light therapy box, summarized the characteristics of various light therapy glasses, and proposed future applications of wearable sleep technologies in light therapy.
