First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This small study tested a new iPad-based light technology (Circadian OS) to see how it affects melatonin, the hormone that controls sleep. Ten healthy adults over 30 were exposed to the light, and researchers measured changes in their melatonin levels and how sleepy they felt. The goal was simply to validate the technology, not to treat any disease.
