The Hidden Impact of Poor Lighting in Your Home
Most homes rely on outdated, harsh, or poorly designed lighting, which negatively impacts your health in ways you might not realize. Improper lighting can cause:
Eye Strain & Headaches – Flickering, overly bright, or uneven lighting fatigues your eyes and can trigger migraines.
Disrupted Sleep & Circadian Rhythm – Exposure to excessive blue light in the evening suppresses melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep.
Increased Stress & Anxiety – Poor lighting creates an uncomfortable environment, contributing to irritability and long-term stress.
Reduced Productivity & Focus – Without proper lighting, working and studying at home becomes more exhausting and less efficient.
Lighting Affects Your Brain and Body
Research confirms that lighting directly impacts your circadian rhythm—the natural process that regulates sleep, energy levels, and overall well-being.
The American Medical Association (AMA) warns that excessive exposure to blue-rich LED lighting at night can contribute to sleep disorders, obesity, and even cardiovascular risks.
A Harvard study found that exposure to cool white light at night delays melatonin production by up to three hours, making it harder to fall asleep.
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that warmer, dimmable lighting in the evening supports natural melatonin production, leading to better sleep and overall health.
