Lighting Design & Circadian Rhythm – How it affects our well-being?
What is Circadian Rhythm and why is it so important for us? Well, let’s find out! Circadian Rhythm is our sleep-wake pattern over the progression of a 24-hour day. It helps control our daily schedule for sleep, wakefulness and most importantly, our behavior. In a nutshell, if we develop a routine in contrary to natural Circadian Rhythm, we are inevitably very likely to have issues with us like fatigue, anxiety and even headache which adversely impact our behavior. Basically, if your routine is in sync with Circadian Rhythm, it has profound effect on your mind and body.
Right exposure to the sunlight has numerous health benefits. Without adequate sunlight, a person’s Serotonin level – mood boosting hormone which also helps in staying focused – can go low during the day. And low level of serotonin is associated with a higher risk of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It is a kind of depression that is caused by changing seasons. Any individual is more likely to experience SAD in the winters when the days are shorter and the nights are longer.
