How to use red light therapy to promote sleep?

Red Light Therapy
As mentioned before, you must try red light therapy during the day or evening. Some people do do well with red light therapy before bed, but this is not a rule.

Secondly, make sure you are using a deep tissue treatment regimen. Most companies these days will provide you with information on how to use their products for deep tissue treatments. The reason I recommend deep tissue therapy is because studies of optimal results using a full-body red light therapy table show results with higher power output.

Third, you must realize that red light therapy is just one of many factors that can affect your sleep quality. I don’t want to get too deep into this topic, but many other factors can have a huge impact on sleep quality. For example, your nutrient levels, especially magnesium levels, whether you breathe through your mouth or through your nose at night, air quality, potential noise pollution, room temperature, toxins in your mattress or other fabrics in your sleep environment, how you treat your circadian rhythm What about rhythms, electromagnetic fields, (chronic) psychological stress, etc.

The quality of sleep is not determined by one factor. However, red light therapy will nudge things in the right direction. However, you still need to consider red light sleep therapy as a tool in your toolbox!

So if you suffer from terrible psychological stress, live on noisy and polluted roads, are deficient in magnesium and zinc, and breathe through your mouth and snore, red light therapy won't solve all your problems. However, you will sleep slightly better, which is already a huge benefit for many people.(Excerpted from:https://www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/red-light-therapy-for-sleep/)
