Do you struggle with light sensitivity, poor sleep, or feeling “wired but tired”? Many people in Blairsville, GA are dealing with these symptoms without realizing how closely they connect to the circadian rhythm — your body’s natural clock.
What Is Light Sensitivity?
Light sensitivity (sometimes called photophobia) goes beyond eye discomfort. For many, it shows up as:
Headaches or migraines triggered by bright lights
Trouble winding down at night after screen time
Feeling overstimulated in stores, classrooms, or offices with fluorescent lighting
Difficulty sleeping despite exhaustion
The Light–Circadian Rhythm Connection
Here in the North Georgia mountains, we’re surrounded by natural beauty — yet most of us spend our days under artificial light. Bright, blue-toned light in the evening can disrupt melatonin production, leading to:
Insomnia or restless nights
Hormonal imbalances
Increased anxiety and irritability
Daytime fatigue
Your body was designed to rise with the sun and rest with the darkness. When that rhythm is thrown off, your entire nervous system and hormone health suffer.
Why It Matters for Families in Blairsville
For parents especially, light sensitivity and circadian disruption don’t just affect you — they affect your children. Kids are often even more sensitive to screen time and fluorescent lighting.
If your child struggles with:
Difficulty focusing in school
Mood swings or meltdowns
Trouble falling asleep…
…it may be time to look at how light exposure is impacting their rhythm.
