Optimize your home lighting for better sleep!

When the sun goes down, we really want to make sure that we optimize lighting in our home environment. And we really want to make sure that we're using lighting that's more dim and more in that yellowish, orangey red tones, if possible. And we want to make sure we're using lighting that is more eye level. So things like lamps versus overhead lighting and pot lighting. And this is because the direction and light color is important when it comes to our sleep. And if we have too much yellow light or white light exposure closer to bedtime, if we're getting too much overhead lighting closer to bedtime, that's going to dysregulate a lot of our hormones. It's going to dysregulate things like our melatonin. And then if we don't get good quality sleep and we get low quantity of sleep, so less than seven hours of sleep, it's going to dysregulate our hunger and appetite hormones as well.
