Parents are constantly looking for natural, effective ways to improve their children's sleep and well-being - and, for its non-invasive and accessible approach to integration, LED light therapy is one such option. Red light treatment has various benefits for newborns and toddlers, including controlling melatonin synthesis and reducing fear of the dark.In this article, we'll look at why red light treatment is such a popular option for parents looking to improve their children's sleep.

Red light therapy is a safe and natural technique for manufacturing melatonin, a hormone required for sleep. Did you know that people sometimes need take a melatonin prescription, so as to battle issues of insomnia and sleeplessness?
Red light has the potential to enhance the body's natural production of the hormone. Turning on the red light when it's time for your child to sleep can help them manufacture the melatonin they need for a good night's sleep while also providing them with the comfort of a night light.
Our circadian rhythm regulates our bodies' sleep and waking cycles. This rhythm determines how we naturally feel fatigued, and it can be influenced by seasonal time shifts and jet lag. Our circadian rhythm has existed since birth, although it does not fully mature until we are 12 months old.
Children may develop a fear of the dark as young as 18 months, which is why so many parents have installed nightlights in their children's bedrooms. The problem is that some night lights keep your youngster awake and interfere with their normal melatonin production.
Using a red light at night not only helps your child sleep better, but also removes the possibility that your youngster will wake up and become afraid of the dark. If your child wakes up frequently, particularly due to night terrors or a dread of the dark, LED light therapy may help.
Red Light Therapy can help build a robust circadian rhythm, especially when it is not in sync, by promoting the production of melatonin.
We're all aware that artificial blue light can have adverse effects on our natural wake-rest cycles. To reduce the effects of blue light that we expose ourselves to for extended periods of time, some people adopt blue-light-blocking glasses when using devices. Blue, white, or green light, regardless of brightness, can disrupt our sleep cycle by signalling the body to wake up as its natural placement in the daytime’s spectrum of available light that we experience.
Our children are exposed to a lot of blue light during the day and evening. And even more so in the modern day, with the increasing ubiquity of digital devices and displays in both professional and personal spaces - having something to counteract this exposure, in other words, can greatly help in adjusting to a healthier, more sustainable sleeping pattern. Red light has a greater wavelength, and because it helps our bodies manufacture melatonin, it can counteract the detrimental effects of blue light.
The Red Light Therapy devices are designed to simulate the red light frequency of a sunset. The reason for this is that as the sun sets, it communicates to our bodies that it is time to sleep by removing light from the environment around us and causing our bodies to generate melatonin.
Not all LED light therapy is created equal, and different colours might have varied results. We designed our red Light hue to be the precise colour required to enhance melatonin production and ensure a good night's sleep.
