Light is the biggest synchroniser of our 24 hour internal body clock; natural light is the best way to keep your body clock in sync.
It is only relatively recently that humans have begun to live indoors. Previously, humans used daylight to hunt and gather - therefore, day to day activity centred around daylight.
However, in a world where we are now always 'on' and constantly digitised it is easy for our rhythms to become out of sync, e.g. sitting under a bright white office light all day, in front of a bright computer screen, finishing the working day and sitting in front of the TV all night whilst checking your emails and scrolling through social media – it is understandable why as many as 16m UK adults are suffering from sleepless nights.
Take a look at our Case Study of SmartCore Circadian Lighting in Heanor Park Care Home.
The SmartCore Circadian Lighting Tool provides artificial light that supports human biological cycles, the same way as natural light. The SmartCore solution delivers sophisticated lighting through the colour, intensity and location of light in every room - without complex programming.
Disturbances in the circadian rhythm can have a physiological and mental impact and often causes poor sleep patterns.
In addition, Circadian Light-Scenes can be used in conjunction with standard dimmable lighting as well as variable white lights and full colour-spectrum LEDs. The colour spectrum of light can be altered for improved health and wellbeing and support aspects of human behaviour that benefit from varied and changeable lighting.
