Transcranial photobiomodulation to enhance sleep by elevating adenosine signaling: a translational study.

Molecular psychiatry·September 15, 2026·PMID 42744976

Why it matters

Sleep disturbances are common and current treatments often have limited efficacy or side effects. tPBM offers a potential non-invasive, drug-free option that targets adenosine, a key sleep-promoting molecule, with preliminary evidence of benefit in both animal and human studies.
