I bought a bulb with a very cool white color, i remember 7000k.

I put this bulb in a desk lamp that is pointed at my bed and on a timer. I use information technology instead of an warning clock. I started doing this because I realized that the blue lite not only woke me upwards merely as well kept me from just going back to slumber. Actually helped during some really dark days.

I'thousand using that Philips light alarm thing. All-time device I've e'er bought. No audio, just a imitation dawn.

This is probable due to the activity of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which gets input directly from the retina and sends signals downstream to the circadian systems.

I was simply explaining why/how this would work to my partner, just I couldn't retrieve the name of the organisms involved!! SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS! Cheers!

Vivid Calorie-free therapy for depression has been a thing ever since a friend of mine discovered S.A.D.

Wondering if anyone has passed this on to him yet (he's retired now).

Came here for this kind of annotate. There is a wealth of literature on this stuff already.

I used to piece of work in the color industry in plastics with lighting and this is already exploited in some markets. Some companies wanted blueish in their lights to calm people down, ruby-red to brand them hungrier in a restaurant, and some stores wanted yellow to make people leave/shop faster lol.

I got myself a 30 dollar smart bulb and prepare a timer for blue when I wake up, and red when I should be going to bed. Information technology helps quite a bit waking up.

level 2

What brand/model? Sounds interesting.

So how can I benefit from this now? Tin I plow my happy light on 20 minutes before it's fourth dimension to wake upward?

I wake up at iii:45 AM to drive for three hours. I'1000 basically one-half asleep until seven when the sun'due south completely up and I just snap out of it.

Same goes for normal days where I wake upwardly at 6:thirty; feel like absolute shit until vii when I experience better.

Would turning your laptop to a white background (or even blue) and holding it shut to your face work?

The color temperature of light has a very interesting and oftentimes dramatic effect on the lives of plants and mammals. This is why many computers and phones now have a "Nighttime Fashion" screen dimming feature that also shifts the colour temperature to a warmer hue in try to forestall unintended wakefulness.
