Natural Light:
Open Your Curtains
Opening curtains in daylight can help save electricity, especially in homes with many windows. Aside from that, productivity is also enhanced as sunlight increases focus and boosts mood, by releasing serotonin, which is also known as the “happy hormone”, and trashes away negative energy. The more natural sunlight you get, the less eye strain you experience as you work. Opening windows can act as a natural heater as well and warm up certain spots in your home.
Take a Walk
You gain many benefits from taking a walk in the sun. Vitamin D is gained from the sun, responsible for boosting white blood cells to fend off infections. Having a strong immune system is important so you can ward off illnesses and do more things.
Artificial Light:
Keep some Lights on At Night
Artificial light at night makes criminals think twice before entering your home, as the lack of hiding spots increases their chances of getting caught. Turning the lights on will make outsiders think that you’re still awake, too.
Place Lights Closer to Working Areas
Proper lighting boosts productivity as it keeps your focus up. You can find different varieties of light that you prefer most. If used properly, artificial light can also improve mood and help encourage engagement in social interactions. Outside of work, you can also get less eye strain from other activities, such as watching TV or staring at your screen at night.
