Use lighting to energize your day 🌞

Smart lighting can mimic a sunrise to help you start your morning.

🖼️ The Big Picture: Our 24-hour internal body clocks respond to light. Both intensity (brightness) and temperature (warm to cool) impact the way we feel and function throughout the day.

• Warm light is best at the start and end of the day. That’s the orange color of sunrise and sunset.
• Cool light is best during the day. That’s the blue light of a bright day.

What’s next: Two options to light your morning.

Option 1 — Low tech

• Buy warm light bulbs like this or this for lamps or fixtures in the room(s) where you start your day.
• Spend 30-60 minutes in the warm light.
• Move to cooler/brighter light — like in your kitchen or outside if it’s light enough.

Option 2 — Smart tech

• Invest in premium smart lighting from Phillips Hue with a white and color starter kit or a white ambiance starter kit — both can mimic a sunrise.
• Use the Phillips Hue app or Alexa, Apple or Google to either start the routine on command or set the routine to your schedule.
