Light

Light is a body-clock problem.

Your body reads light to know what time it is. Bright days and dark nights keep that clock on time. Most homes get this backward, and your sleep pays for it. The first entry below breaks down indoor lighting, in the units the clock actually responds to.

Morning into day

250mEDI at the eye, ~4 hrs

Bright and cool. This is the signal that sets the clock and sharpens daytime alertness. Typical indoor lighting falls short of it.

The 3 hrs before bed

10mEDI or below

Warm and dim. Low enough to let melatonin rise on schedule. Ordinary overhead light sits well above this.

During sleep

1mEDI or below

Effectively dark. Even streetlight leaking past curtains is enough to measurably worsen the night.

Cool LED and bright screens flattened this arc: too dim by day, too bright by night. We measure the light your clock actually reads, then design the home back to it.
