If you’ve ever struggled with restless nights or waking up groggy, you know how frustrating poor sleep can be. At Crew Chiropractic, we believe sleep isn’t just about rest — it’s about recovery, healing, and helping your body perform at its best. That’s why we offer full-body red light therapy. While many people know it for easing pain and boosting circulation, research also shows red light therapy can play a powerful role in improving sleep.
Unlike the blue light from phones and screens that disrupts rest, red light is gentle and soothing. It works with your body’s natural rhythms to set the stage for better sleep — all in a simple, 20-minute session during the day.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) uses safe wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support cellular health, reduce inflammation, and encourage relaxation. When you lie in our full-body red light therapy bed, your body is surrounded by a calming glow. There’s no UV exposure, no heat discomfort — just a comfortable, spa-like experience.
Originally studied by NASA for healing, RLT has since been shown in research to support everything from joint health to skin rejuvenation. More recently, it’s gaining attention for its ability to improve sleep quality.
How Red Light Therapy Supports Better Sleep
So how does a 20-minute session during your day help you sleep better at night? Research points to several key benefits:
- Encourages Melatonin Balance
A small study on athletes found that those who received red light therapy had higher nighttime melatonin levels and reported better sleep quality compared to those who didn’t. Melatonin is the hormone that signals your body it’s time to sleep, and red light helps support its natural rhythm. - Promotes Relaxation
Many patients describe their 20-minute sessions as deeply calming. The warm glow encourages your body to shift toward its parasympathetic state — the “rest and digest” mode — which helps reduce tension and sets you up for better rest later that night. - Aligns Circadian Rhythm
Your body’s internal clock relies heavily on light exposure. Red light therapy provides a sleep-friendly light signal that helps reinforce healthy rhythms during the day, so when evening comes, your body naturally knows it’s time to rest. - Reduces Discomfort That Disrupts Sleep
Pain and soreness are two of the most common obstacles to a good night’s sleep. Because red light therapy improves circulation and reduces inflammation, many patients feel physically more comfortable, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
What the Research Shows
- A study published in the Journal of Athletic Training found that athletes who received red light therapy for just two weeks slept better, had more energy, and felt less fatigued.
- Other studies show that red light does not interfere with melatonin (like blue light does) — instead, it helps your body stay aligned with its natural rhythms.
- Even in controlled trials, participants exposed to red light reported greater relaxation and improved rest compared to control groups.
While research is still ongoing, the science so far supports what many of our patients already experience: red light therapy can be a powerful, natural aid for better sleep.
