Feeling tired from the winter blues?

Improve your lighting habits!

As the days get shorter, light becomes even more crucial in our daily lives. Light impacts the production of hormones that are essential for a good night's sleep. However, reduced natural daylight during the winter months, along with exposure to blue light late into the evening, can significantly disrupt our body's internal clock and sleep quality. This makes the transition to winter time the perfect time to review and adjust our lighting habits for better health.

 

What can you do when wintertime sets in?

 

Artificial light is inevitable in winter. Therefore, start your work day with bright, cool white light to synchronize your biological clock. It is also important to let in as much daylight as possible into your home or work environment during the day. If that's not possible, take a short walk during your break to get extra exposure to daylight. Finally, it helps to limit blue light exposure in the evening and dim the lights before bedtime. This helps better align your body's rhythm with the seasons, leading to faster falling asleep and improved sleep quality.  

 

 

 

Which solution has MIYO come up with?

 

The tips mentioned above may seem simple, but implementing them can be challenging. One of our customers also experienced this, which led to the development of a custom-made lighting solution by our MIYO department. An outstanding example is our Strada 68 RGBW with the latest PI-LED technology. This technology improves well-being by simulating natural light transitions from 1,800K candlelight to 16,000K daylight, including RGB options. This lighting solution supports a healthy sleep-wake rhythm through natural hormone regulation and is perfect for use in schools, offices, smart homes, and healthcare facilities.
