green light exposure before stressful events reduces sympathetic nervous system activation
Prior green light stimulation before dental procedures significantly reduced salivary alpha-amylase activity, consistent with suppression of sympathetic nervous system activation.
What this means for you
Your sympathetic nervous system is what drives the 'fight or flight' response — racing heart, tension, anxiety. When green light helps dial that down before a stressful situation, you may feel calmer, more composed, and less physically wound up. That kind of nervous system regulation matters for anyone dealing with everyday stress or anticipatory anxiety.
