When my nervous system became so overwhelmed that computer screens felt like staring into the sun and fluorescent lights triggered anxiety attacks, I couldn't function professionally or personally. The turning point came through natural light therapy—specifically gentle morning sunlight that gradually reset my hypervigilant system by activating specialized retinal cells that signal our brain's master biological clock. Research shows this works because natural light literally rewires our nervous system's response to stimulation, shifting us from chronic fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest mode. Sometimes the simplest practices create the most profound healing.
