I spoke with Mariana Figueiro about how too much or too little exposure to light and dark can disrupt human biology and influence disease. Proper lighting is essential for circadian health, as inappropriate light timing can disrupt our internal clocks, leading to sleep disorders and metabolic issues. Figueiro emphasizes the importance of managing light exposure—seeking bright light during the day and reducing blue light at night—to align our biology. These insights, supported by NIH research, underline the need for architectural and lighting design that supports human health, minimizing risks associated with light disruption.
