Light Your Way to Better Sleep

If you’ve ever struggled with sleep after a late-night screen binge or felt extra alert during a sunny morning walk, you’ve already experienced how light affects your body. Light is one of the most powerful cues for your circadian rhythm—your body’s internal clock that regulates sleep, energy, and alertness.

That’s why Arcashift includes personalized lighting recommendations to help you align with your natural rhythm and feel your best. And who better to explain how it all works than Sol ☀️, Chili 🛋️, and Lune 🌙—your personal light guides?

🌞 Sol Says: “Be Active in Bright Light!”

Best for: Morning wake-up, work hours, exercise

“Hey there, sunshine! It’s me, Sol, your friendly neighborhood sun. Wanna feel awake and energized? Try getting BRIGHT LIGHT! I make your body’s clock run faster, helping you wake up earlier and feel sleepy at the right time later. Just remember—the more of me you get in the morning, the better you’ll sleep at night!”

How to Get Bright Light:

✅ Step outside – Natural light is the best and brightest. Even on cloudy days, it’s stronger than indoor lighting.
✅ Use bright indoor lighting – If you can’t get outside, turn on all the lights! Big, bright overhead lights help you stay alert.
✅ Try a light therapy lamp – Great for early mornings or dark offices when natural light is limited.

🛋️ Chili Says: “Chill in Dim Light!”

Best for: Evening wind-down, relaxing activities, preparing for sleep

“Yo, what’s up? It’s Chili, the coolest lampshade around. When the sun starts setting, it’s time to dim the vibes. Bright lights at night confuse your body, making it think it’s still daytime. So, switch to warm, cozy lighting and give yourself a break.”

How to Avoid Bright Light in the Evening:

✅ Move indoors – Control your lighting by heading inside as the sun sets.
✅ Dim the lights – Use warm, soft lamps instead of bright overhead lights.
✅ Limit screen time – Phones, tablets, and TVs give off blue light that messes with your sleep. Turn on night mode or use blue light filters if you must scroll.

🌙 Lune Says: “Sleep and Avoid ALL Light!”

Best for: Deep sleep, nighttime recovery

“Listen to me, humans. I am Lune, and I do not have time for nonsense when it comes to sleep. You want deep, uninterrupted rest? Kill the lights. ALL the lights. That means no glowing screens, no blinking LEDs, no streetlights sneaking through your window. Darkness = melatonin = good sleep. Do I need to spell it out?”

How to Avoid Light While Sleeping:

✅ Block streetlights – Blackout curtains or an eye mask will do the trick.
✅ Cover tiny LED glows – Tape over those little lights on chargers, alarm clocks, and TVs.
✅ Skip nightlights – If you must have one, use a red light, since it’s the least disruptive to sleep.
✅ No screens before bed – Even dim ones can trick your brain into thinking it’s daytime.
