Deans' stroke musings: The Colour That Reduces Stress 3 Times Faster

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

The Colour That Reduces Stress 3 Times Faster

For all the stress caused by your doctor in not doing anything about stopping the neuronal cascade of death or having any plan to get to 100% recovery. Your doctor should have a plan to handle your stress, although I bet you have to tell her/him about this research. Do not assume your blue light from your smartphone is appropriate.

The Colour That Reduces Stress 3 Times Faster

Lighting of this colour helps people relax three times quicker.

Blue light helps people to relax more quickly, new research finds.

Compared with regular white light, people are able to recover from a stressful experience three times quicker when sitting under blue light.

Regular stresses such as that caused by arguing with a friend or having a close deadline at work could be best tackled with blue light.

In the small study, 12 people were first stressed and then performed a relaxation session under either blue or white light.

The study’s authors explain their conclusions:

“…blue lighting accelerates the relaxation process after stress in comparison with conventional white lighting.

The relaxation time decreased by approximately three-fold (1.1 vs. 3.5 minutes).

We also observed a convergence time (3.5–5 minutes) after which the advantage of blue lighting disappeared.

This is not the first time studies have found that coloured lighting can influence people’s emotions.

The study’s authors explain:

“A study about the influence of color of walls in learning environments proved that pale colors caused more relaxation than vivid colors, and that heart rate decreased with short-wavelength colors (e.g., violet, blue and green) in comparison with longer-wavelength (e.g., yellow and red).

In addition, a few authors have successfully treated people with behavior disorders by influencing their emotional states (e.g., causing mental calm) by color lighting.

For instance, pink light was successfully utilized to reduce aggressiveness of delinquents in prison.

Furthermore, another color-lighting-based method with blue light have been used for disruptive behavior disorders…”

The study was published in the journal PLOS ONE (Minguillon et al., 2017).
