The Science Behind
Light and Your Health
When talking about our health and wellness we center our focus around things like nutrition, exercise, meditation, mindfulness etc. But there’s one large component we’ve been ignoring, or at least taking for granted.
And that’s sunlight.

For centuries, our days and nights followed the sun cycle closely, enabling our bodies — our circadian rhythm — to reset itself each day. Unfortunately, we now spend over 93% of our life indoors, 90% of us experience circadian disruption, and long story short — artificial light is compromising our health.
But just how much does this compromise our health? Well, the short answer is it pretty much affects every aspect of it. Let’s start by talking about how light is absorbed – through the eyes.
Light We See in the Daytime Unleashes Your Potential
Harness the power of daylight
From fine-tuning focus to elevating mood, light aligns our body’s rhythm for peak performance. Whether it’s sharper cognition or optimal metabolism, every ray of light readies us to conquer the day’s challenges.
Nighttime Optimizes
Your Recovery
Night’s embrace isn’t just about sleep
As melatonin gets released after being built up in the day, our bodies dive deep into repair mode — from immune boosts to muscle growth. Embrace the darkness, and rise rejuvenated, set for success.

Neurotransmitters
These brain chemicals guide our mood, sleep, focus, and much more.
Adrenal Clock
Dictates cortisol levels, managing stress responses.
Gastrointestinal Clock
Modulates digestion and nutrient absorption, ensuring optimal gut health.
Renal Clock
Manages fluid balance and toxin filtration, essential for kidney health.
Reproductive Clock
Controls reproductive hormones, impacting fertility and sexual health.
Fat Tissue Clock
Influences the storage and release of fat, playing a role in weight management.
Skeletal Muscle Clock
Directs muscle repair, growth, and strength, boosting physical performance.
Cellular Clocks
Present in nearly every cell, these local clocks coordinate cellular growth, division, and repair for a genetic level.
Skin Clock
Oversees cell repair and regeneration, enhancing skin health and appearance.
Thyroid Clock
Regulates thyroid hormones for energy, temperature, and metabolism control.
Cardiovascular Clock
Governs heart rate and blood pressure, helping maintain optimal circadian cardiovascular function.
Nervous System Clock
Modulates neural activity and cognition, supporting brain health.
Immune System Clock
Controls immune responses and inflammation, key to warding off infections.
Pulmonary Clock
Oversees breathing rates and lung function, for effective oxygen supply.
Liver Clock
Regulates detoxification and metabolism, maintaining peak liver function.
Pancreatic Clock
Coordinates insulin production and glucose regulation, essential for energy and preventing diabetes.
Reproductive Clock
Regulates female reproductive hormones, influencing fertility and menstrual cycles.
Brighter days, darker nights are what we need to be healthy.
Sunlight is our life source, so why replace it with something artificial? SKYVIEW Human Light recreates a sunlight experience to promote general well-being indoors.

Artificial Lighting is too dim in the day
Artificial lighting misses key qualities of sunlight, which can lead to circadian drift. Incorporating the qualities of better and stronger daylight boosts sleep, mood and overall well-being.

Artificial Light Disrupts Your Body’s “Master Clock”. And Your “Master Clock” Does More Than Keep Time. It Influences Almost Every Aspect of Health.
Sunlight supports general well-being by transmitting information to the master clock in our brains via a special photopigment in the eye – melanopsin. Artificial lights don’t capture the qualities of sunlight needed to support a natural sleep-wake cycle.
Research shows that experiencing a natural sunlight experience, with enough sky blue light in the day and none at night – promotes better sleep, reduced fatigue, and increased focus and productivity.

01
Elevates Performance, Mood, and Sleep
The “master clock” fine-tunes your melatonin, serotonin, and cortisol - all key players in shaping your mood, sleep, and daily performance.
02
Enhances Organ Function and Resilience
Each organ function has its own “peripheral clock”, aligning organ functions harmoniously for better daily living.
03
Optimizes Your Body's Genetic Potential
Nearly every cell in our body comes equipped with its own genetic clock that relies on our circadian rhythms 43% of the time, optimizing your body at the cellular level.
