Learn How Smart Lights Help You Get in Sync with Your Body’s Natural Rhythm

Do you wake up refreshed every morning? Is it easy for you to drift off to sleep in the evening? If you answer “no” to either of those questions, one possible problem may be your lights. The type of lights in your home have a significant impact on your sleep-wake cycle, called your circadian rhythm. It’s an important biological function that helps regulate your brain wave activity, body temperature, and sleep pattern.

Instead of having several cups of coffee to jumpstart your day or counting sheep in bed while trying to fall asleep, there’s a better solution. By installing circadian lighting in your Beverly Hills, CA, home, you’ll start your day refreshed and fall asleep peacefully.

Improve Your Sleep With Human-Centric Lighting

Even though modern or classy fixtures and lamps give your home a certain ambiance, it is the light source that impacts your sleep and mood — the type, intensity, and hue of your light bulbs. In fact, studies show that insufficient lighting can contribute to depression in certain people.

However, more well-known is the effect lighting has on our circadian rhythms. Most people realize that bright lights help to keep you awake, while dim lights make you sleepy. If it takes you a while to fall asleep at night, it may be because you didn’t dim your lights an hour before bed. Maybe you have trouble waking up in the morning because the warm amber light tones in your home promote relaxation. The key is to install a circadian light control system.

The right hue and intensity of light at the correct time of day ensure your body’s clock falls into a natural rhythm. Since bright lights suppress the body’s production of melatonin (the hormone that makes you sleepy), a circadian lighting system adjusts the lights in the evening to promote relaxation. In the morning, your lighting system slowly wakes you up by increasing light intensity and blue hues to energize you.

 

A Smart Choice for Home Lighting

Let your lights think for you with a smart lighting system that does all the work. After programming the system, everything is virtually automatic. Just imagine waking up in the morning while your lights slowly adjust to the right brightness and color. In the evening, as bedtime approaches, your automated human-centric lights change to soft amber hues. It creates a cozy, calm atmosphere that promotes relaxation. By the time you’re ready for bed, you’ll fall asleep soundly and wake up refreshed.

Manufacturers like Lutron feature lighting control systems that integrate beautifully with your smart home. So, you can control and modify anything by using your touchpad or mobile device.
