deLIGHTed Talks, 8th edition
The 8th edition of deLIGHTed Talks, an insightful session on the vital role of light in regulating circadian rhythms, optimizing sleep, and enhancing well-being. In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, where artificial light dominates our environments, the relationship between light and sleep has never been more critical. Exposure to the right type of light at the right time is essential for regulating our circadian rhythms—the internal clock that governs sleep and wakefulness. Insufficient light exposure in the morning or excessive light in the evening can disrupt sleep, impair alertness, and reduce productivity during the day. Join us as we explore how good light can optimize melatonin production, support restful nights, and enhance overall well-being.
Presenters: Renske Lok PhD & Jeffrey Hubbard PhD
Moderation: Virginie Gabel PhD
Date and time: 24 April 2025 16:00-17:30 CEST
