Especially in a room that combines multiple functionalities in addition to sleeping and resting. Which types of lighting are best to use in the bedroom without disturbing your night's rest?
Light inside and outside the bedroom can affect sleep. Our body operates with an internal biological clock. This clock responds to light. When there is less light, such as during twilight or at night, our brain produces the sleep hormone melatonin. Melatonin signals the body that it is time to go to sleep, which is essential for our wake-sleep cycle. It is primarily (sky) blue light that disrupts the production of this hormone. Daytime sunlight ensures that we hardly become sleepy, if at all. The artificial, bluer light from a computer screen, smartphone, or television also reduces melatonin production. As a result, we sleep more restlessly and wake up more often during the night. How do you optimally align the light in the bedroom with this natural sleep cycle?
Lighting for reading in bed
The bright light we normally use for reading is too bright just before going to sleep. Use a warmer light source (yellower light) that supports the eyes while reading. This simultaneously signals to the body that it is time to relax. If you have a different bedtime than your partner, use a lamp that emits light in a small circle.
Optimal blackout at night
Light from, for example, a street lamp or a ceiling light disrupts sleep. Even a small amount of light at night can break down the sleep hormone, preventing the body from sleeping optimally. A pitch-dark room is important for a good night's rest. The darker the bedroom, the less we wake up (unconsciously) at night and the more peacefully we sleep. So ensure you have a dark bedroom. Bright (white or blue) light also disrupts sleep patterns in (young) children. A night light with some red light offers a solution.
Waking up to the morning light, even in winter
Just as twilight helps our bodies fall asleep, early morning light helps us wake up. Open the curtains after getting up to wake up feeling energized! During dark winter mornings, this is much more difficult. A wake-up light offers a solution. In 30 minutes, this lamp mimics the sunrise, allowing you to wake up naturally.
