Ambient Lighting Shift

Environmental & Sensory Regulation

Evening (Continuous)

Changing the lighting in your main evening space to eliminate harsh overhead bulbs and signal rest.

1. Commit to a specific transition time as evening approaches.

2. Walk through your living space and turn off all bright, overhead lighting fixtures.

3. Switch on low-wattage floor lamps, salt lamps, or string lights instead.

4. Keep the illumination warm and positioned low to the ground.

5. Let your eyes adapt to the softer environment to naturally encourage sleepiness.
