Blue Light vs. Red Light: Which Is Destroying Your Sleep and Which Fixes It?

What if the best sleep of your life doesn't come from a pill, a gummy, or a supplement stack — it comes from light? In this episode of the Red Light Therapy Podcast, Mike Volkin and longevity specialist Dr. Alan Inman explore how red and near-infrared light therapy supports the circadian rhythm — the internal clock that governs when you feel awake and when you feel sleepy. Whether you're bouncing between time zones, working overnight shifts, or just lying awake at 2am with a racing mind, the problem usually starts with the wrong kind of light at the wrong time. Learn exactly which wavelengths to avoid and which to use in the hour before bed, how the parasympathetic nervous system is activated by red light exposure and why that matters for sleep quality, whether red light meaningfully increases melatonin or simply stops suppressing it, how to structure a pre-bed red light routine that works for the whole family including young kids, and what to do after your session to make sleep come even faster.
