According to the CDC, "the light/dark cycle of the sun has a powerful effect on the circadian clock, sleep, and alertness".
Do your circadian clock a favour by dimming lights 2 hours before bedtime to when you wake up in the morning. Starting your day with bright or natural light can help you feel more alert and awake throughout the day.
We suggest investing in a dimming lamp that you love to help you create a soothing bedtime ambiance.
