✨ Why Soft Lighting Works Wonders

Soft lighting has been shown to decrease cortisol levels, relax eye strain, and ease the nervous system—especially during evening hours. It shifts your space from “task mode” into “recovery mode,” triggering melatonin and prepping your body for sleep. Incorporating warm-toned, diffused light sources with organic textures (like feathers, florals, or wood) reinforces this sense of calm.

🧠 Expert Insight: The Psychology of Light

According to a Harvard Health Publishing study, soft lighting helps regulate your circadian rhythm by signaling the brain that it's time to unwind. Unlike bright, cold LEDs, warmer hues and dim illumination support melatonin production, reduce anxiety, and encourage better sleep hygiene.
