Abstract
This study shows how and why luminous red pulsations can distract the mind and facilitate sleep by preventing disruptive thoughts and memories. The rgb LED produces a miniature dusk-to-dawn flight device to pass from red at night to white at dawn, potentially followed by luminotherapy. Combined in a single portable device, these luminous parameters are useful in the fight against insomnia through cognitive behavioral therapy CBT.
