Home lighting and Sleep

Despite what our modern, fast-paced and increasingly urban lives may lead us to believe, the most basic rhythm of the natural world — the rising and setting of the sun — still impacts our health and mental well-being on deep levels. While artificial light may allow us to ignore the natural rhythm of day and night, numerous studies. indicate it isn’t without repercussions to our health.

Research shows home lighting suppresses melatonin production, impacting sleep, circadian rhythm and health. Adding to the growing body of evidence, a recently published study revealed that in 48 percent of homes, evening lighting was bright enough to reduce melatonin by 50 percent, pointing to a need to support melatonin production for better health.
