55. Light Therapy for Circadian Rhythm and Immune System

So I know I've discussed the importance of deep sleep and its relationship to the immune system, but there's some interesting new data on the horizon that a healthy circadian rhythm along with light therapy can help modulate the immune system.  Obviously, the most common circadian rhythm disorders occur when the body's internal clock is out of step with environmental cues (light/night cycle) and this leads to problems with our sleep-wake cycle.   Think about issues with falling asleep within a decent amount of time - taking forever to fall asleep: delayed sleep phase, or even advanced sleep phase disorder (going to sleep much earlier than normal and waking up earlier as well), jet lag, and disrupted sleep-wake cycle.  But there also is a key component of our circadian rhythm that regulates our immune system.
