The lighting of your home directly affects your stress levels

by

Light not only creates visual effects (image, shape, intensity, perception, contrast, etc.) it also has biological and psychological effects that can affect human health and well-being.

Your home is your refuge. Especially for those of us who still work from home or at least spend most of their day there, it is important that the space exudes calm.

This is essential for both your creativity, your relaxation and your mood.

Light not only creates visual effects (image, shape, intensity, perception, contrast, etc.) it also has biological and psychological effects that can affect human health and well-being.

When light affects us biologically, it can improve or disrupt our sleep, cognitive function and general well-being. It can improve our mood and stabilize our circadian rhythms, helping us to have a better and deeper sleep.

A mistake in home decor that can directly affect your mood and your stress levels is the lighting.

Sure, a place with romantic candlelight sounds relaxing and ideal for relaxing after a long and tiring day, but it’s definitely not ideal for the rest of the day, as it can actually have the opposite effect.

It can even lead to feelings of anxiety.

The lighting of your space, both natural and artificial, directly affects your mood, but you probably already understand that, even if you did not know all of the above.

How low lighting can lead to more stress
People tend to experience more depressive feelings during the winter months when there is less exposure to light. That is why a well-lit space can help you feel better immediately.

For this reason, turn on the lights or if you live in a place with plenty of natural light, open shutters and curtains and “let the sunshine in”.

Low light can create a feeling of stress, especially if you are already prone to feelings of stress in your work environment (and beyond).

So your personal space is in your hands to be, even in terms of lighting, a completely relaxing and calm environment.

Just turn on the light!
