🌙 Sleep Masterclass | Using Light to Improve Sleep, Boost Health, and Live Longer
For most of human history, light came from the sun and fire. We evolved around both. In just a few decades, we changed that completely.
Most people know that light affects sleep. What most people don't know is that it's not just about how bright or dark your environment is — it's about the spectrum of light you're exposed to, and when.
Artificial lighting has fundamentally altered the signals our bodies rely on to regulate sleep, metabolism, hormones, and repair. The consequences go far beyond feeling tired. And the solution isn't to live by candlelight — it's to understand what the right light, at the right time, actually looks like.
In this free 45-minute live session, we're joined by Dr Martin Moore-Ede, a physician and researcher with over 40 years in circadian science. He led the Harvard team that identified the brain's master circadian clock, and now focuses on translating that science into practical, circadian-friendly lighting solutions for everyday life.
What we'll cover:
How we have radically changed the light environments we live and work in, and what that means for our biology
Why artificial light disrupts health in ways that go far beyond poor sleep
The spectrum of light: why the colour and wavelength of light matters more than most people realise
The right light at the right time: practical strategies for protecting your circadian rhythm
How to address the real barriers to healthy lighting in your daily life
Live Q&A: bring your questions
This is an educational session. Our goal is simple: for you to leave understanding how the light around you shapes your sleep, your health, and your longevity — and what you can start changing today.
