Let the light in ⁠

The amount of light our eyes perceive during the day plays a significant role in our sleep cycles. On cloudy days it’s not uncommon for people to feel sad or drained of energy, but when the sun is shining, that solar power goes right to our inner beings. ⁠

⁠One of the most transformative interior design ideas is to welcome natural daylight inside. Large windows and skylights bring in sunlight at all hours of the day. If you’re stuck with small windows where the weather is often gloomy, add lamps that use full-spectrum or halogen light bulbs to mimic natural light. The right light will keep your sleep cycle-accurate, providing an automatic boost to happiness. ⁠
