photon light lowers stress-linked brain chemicals associated with poor sleep
Laser acupuncture significantly lowered hypothalamic norepinephrine and dopamine levels in insomniac rat models compared to untreated controls, suggesting sleep-promoting effects via catecholamine downregulation.
What this means for you
Norepinephrine and dopamine are stimulating brain chemicals that, when elevated at night, can keep your mind racing and make restful sleep harder to reach. Research suggests photon light application may help bring these levels down — supporting the kind of neurological calm that allows deeper, more natural sleep.
