From plants to humans, almost all life has endogenous 24 hours (day and night) rhythm.These rhythms exist at multiple molecules and cells, so that the physiology and behavior of the organisms are the best consistent with the daily light and dark cycle.Good and synchronized day and night rhythm is the basis of human health, and it is especially important for mental health.Correct lighting time is critical to regulating the human day and night rhythm function, but the modern life mode (including the work system and excessive artificial light at night) will cause the day and night rhythm to be not synchronized and cause a series of bad physical and mental health consequences.This is particularly prominent in severe depression, psychiatric disease (Psychosis), bipolar emotional disorders, dementia, neuroded disorders (ASD and ADHD), and material abuse: abnormal day and night rhythm function is related to the pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment endings of these diseases.Essence
