Let’s be honest:
Your family brings their phone into the bathroom. Teenagers, husbands, wives — everyone.
Bright bathroom LEDs + blue light from phones = melatonin sabotage, nervous-system stress, and way too much time spent “doom-pooping.”
But what if you could fix this without lectures, rules, or expensive biohacking gear?
Enter the $27 infrared “chicken light.”
What Is a Chicken Light (and Why It Works)?
A 175–250 W infrared heat lamp — often nicknamed a chicken light — emits red and infrared light instead of harsh blue LEDs.
That means:
- no melatonin suppression
- a warmer, calmer nervous system
- less urge to scroll endlessly
- faster, more relaxed bathroom time
You don’t need a red-light panel.
You don’t need a routine.
You just change the lightbulb.
Chicken Light vs Near-Infrared (NIR) Therapy Lamps
Near-Infrared (NIR) lamps (usually 850 nm) are amazing — but they’re:
- expensive
- intentional
- often unused by families
Chicken lights are:
- cheap
- passive
- impossible to forget
The truth?
NIR is for therapy. Chicken lights are for daily life.
And daily life is where circadian health actually improves.
The Sneaky Benefit: Fewer Phones in the Bathroom
Red/infrared light makes phone screens:
- less stimulating
- less addictive
- honestly… kind of annoying to look at
People naturally:
- put the phone down sooner
- finish their business
- leave the bathroom faster
You didn’t ban phones —
you changed the environment.
That’s real behavior change.
Better Light + Magnesium = Better Sleep
Pair this with magnesium chloride:
- bath flakes
- body butter
- oil or spray
Magnesium helps:
- calm the nervous system
- reduce inflammation
- support deeper sleep
Together, warm red light in the morning + magnesium at night creates a gentle circadian rhythm reset — without effort.
A New Year’s Resolution That Actually Sticks
Instead of:
- expensive gadgets
- strict routines
- fighting your kids about screens
Try this:
✔️ Install a $27 infrared bulb in the bathroom
✔️ Add magnesium to your evenings
✔️ Let biology do the rest
No tracking.
No discipline.
No arguments.
Just better light, better sleep, and calmer mornings — starting on the toilet.
