What color light is best for sleeping?

The color lighting you use throughout your home in the hours leading up to sleep can promote more restful nights. It’s generally recommended to avoid bright lights in the hours before sleep, opting instead for warmer light, including red and amber colored light. Light bulbs that give off a soft yellow or orange cast as opposed to a bright white light promote calm and relaxation.

Close the curtains and dream on

Blackout curtains are a dreamer’s best friend. You can easily block out the moonlight, the sunlight, the streetlights, your neighbor’s absurdly elaborate Christmas lights, all of the lights. They’re also a lovely way to style up your bedroom with a blast of solid color or a fun pattern.
