Light and Bedtime Routines: Reading About the Sleep Environment
Morning light, evening lamps and bedroom brightness are the reading topics. TuTu removes fixed exposure schedules and claims that a lighting setup guarantees restorative sleep.
Topic guide
Look at the room and the time of day
Morning light, evening lamps and bedroom brightness are different parts of a daily routine. TuTu uses those settings as reading questions without deciding why someone has difficulty sleeping.
Descriptions of light, claims about body clocks and instructions for exposure should be distinguished. This guide does not prescribe exposure times, recommend light-therapy equipment or promise that a room setup will restore sleep.
