Circadian-Light Hypothesis for Fertility and Birthrate Management

2026-05-15

Abstract excerpt

Human fertility has declined sharply since 1950, and a growing body of evidence suggests that conventional socioeconomic explanations do not fully account for the timing and breadth of this trend. This review examines the Circadian-Light Hygiene hypothesis, which proposes that daily light exposure is a fundamental regulator of reproductive health. We synthesize findings from photobiology, endocrinology, reproducti...
