Inspired by the Circadian Rhythm
Your circadian rhythm is your body's internal timekeeper that regulates when you are tired, active, hungry, and more. Natural sunlight is a driver of circadian rhythms, so you can often feel tired if cooped up inside for too long during the day. On the other hand, going outside into the sunshine can give you a natural energy boost and help you recover from grogginess quickly.
While not specifically circadian lighting, Ketra's tunable lighting system is a human-centric lighting option and can be programmed to adjust to a cyclical routine throughout the day. For instance, you could rise to bright, cool white lighting that mimics the bright sky of daytime. Perhaps at night, you could relax under warm amber lights that emulate the sunset to make your body more naturally sleepy. When you sit in dim lighting for a while, you're sure to sleep better through the night.
Lighting Controls Can Help
To maintain a consistent pattern of waking and sleeping, create a light schedule with your smart home control system. Automating color shifts throughout your day can help you gently rise in the morning or power through during your typical afternoon slump. Of course, programming a nighttime routine will benefit not only yourself but any family members who may struggle to get to sleep.
Lighting controls can also adjust on the fly should you plan a party or other event and don't want your guests to get sleepy early. Make changes to set schedules easily on a smartphone app or tablet.
