What Lighting Works Best for Night Time Relaxation

Night time relaxation begins with the lighting we choose in the hours before bed. Bright overhead bulbs that suit cooking and working can feel harsh once the day slows, while warmer tones in the 2200K to 2700K range carry the soft amber quality that the eyes read as restful.
