ABSTRACT
Bright light treatment is the most potent melatonin suppressor and circadian phase shifter and is a safe nonpharmacologic antidepressant for seasonal depression. In addition, bright light treatment may restore performance in conditions of sleep debt and misalignment between peak performance and the athletic event. This article discusses the therapeutic use of bright light treatment, its side effects, and mechanisms of action.
