Lamps in the bedroom

The importance of lighting in the bedroom

Lighting in the bedroom plays a crucial role in the atmosphere and functionality of the room. Well-planned lighting helps create a relaxing ambiance that promotes relaxation and sleep. Different lamps can create different moods, from bright and inviting to subdued and calming.

Influence on the sleep cycle

The type of lighting has a direct impact on the sleep cycle. Warm light promotes relaxation and signals to the body that it's time to rest. In contrast, cold, blue light can inhibit melatonin production and prolong the time it takes to fall asleep.
