Light Your Life: The Art Of Using Light For Health And Happiness

Learn how to use light to boost your mood and wellbeing, create a happier, healthier home and enhance your life. The light that surrounds us daily has a huge impact on our brains, our mood, and our mental health, yet we tend to pay it very little attention. Many of us wake up in the dark, turn on the lights, go to work, and sit in front of a computer screen for hours, often unaware of the poor-quality lighting around us. We complain of headaches, low mood, poor vision, and seasonal affective disorder, but rarely consider the effect light may have on our lives. In this accessible book, Karl Ryberg explains how light affects our eyes, health, and wellbeing, and offers practical advice on maximizing natural light, choosing suitable lighting at home, minimizing light pollution and blue light exposure from screens, synchronizing with body clocks, using light rituals for sleep, and employing light therapy and eye yoga to improve eye muscle health.
