Sleep is regulated by a hormone called melatonin which is affected by the light that hits your skin. Our bodies use this method to allow us to stay awake when the sun is out and allow us to feel tired and rest when the the sun went down. However, because nowadays there is artificial lighting everywhere in our bedrooms and on our screens of our phones and PCs, we are constantly bombarding our body with white light which prevents the production of melatonin. This is why we have such a hard time falling asleep.

The best way to combat this is by controlling the white light which is already in the room. This can be done by changing the lighting on your screens throughout the night from white to yellow. Therefore, allowing melatonin to be produced naturally.

Lighting is also very important when it comes to feeling energized and awake in the morning. You need to keep your blinds open so that when the sun rises the natural white light can hit your skin and prevent additional production of melatonin. This will prevent you from feeling sleepy in the mornings.

Giving yourself enough sleep
