The human body is designed to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. When our natural circadian rhythms are interrupted, we become far less efficient. New research shows that we can readjust these vital rhythms to bring night shift workers to a new level of health and productivity. Simply said, we can reset the body's natural rhythms and increase nighttime alertness. Studies involving nightshift workers show that their circadian rhythms can be successfully shifted with bright light exposure upon waking at night along with complete darkness while sleeping during the day.
Workers show significant improvement in both alertness and cognitive performance during work hours.
In addition, they are able to sleep an average of two hours longer during the day. As innovators in our field, we've known of the biological benefits of using our light therapy both at home and in the workplace Our two-part system of regular light box use on awakening and glare free overhead lighting at work, combines to reset the body's inner clock. Reduced absenteeism as well as fewer errors, accidents and injuries on the job. This combination is ideal for maintaining an environment of wellness along with major increases in productivity.
