The circadian cycle is the body’s biological clock and the right lighting can help you create more comfortable environments.
You’ve probably already heard that the choice of light in the room can have a direct impact on your well-being. Yes, but what not everyone knows is that the mechanism that influences our biological clock and helps the body regulate itself between day and night is called circadian cyclefrom Latin about (fence) e diem (day), i.e. about a day.
A circadian lighting is one of the concepts of bio-architectureaspect that refers to the well-being of the elements of nature, in particular the natural lighting and ventilation. It is a resource for developing environments with lighting that obeys the circadian cycle, even if artificially, offering every comfort and functionality.
During daycircadian lighting helps the body to stay alert. A Nightmakes it Relax. Since natural light varies according to the time of day, in artificial lighting we managed to reproduce these variations with the help of the color temperatures measurements in Kelvin and fundamental to control, help and influence our body in the production of hormones.
“Light is one of the biggest disruptors in this cycle and helps our bodies figure out the right time for anything we’re not exposed to natural light for, like waking up, being active, working, relaxing, and sleeping,” she explains.

Find out how to adjust the best light for different times of day:
warm white light
Sunlight stimulates the production of dopamine, the pleasure hormone. In a healthy circadian cycle, as the day gets dark, the body produces melatonin, a hormone that regulates and increases the quality of sleep. Able to stimulate the production of melatonin, warm lights make the environment more welcoming, relaxing and ensure greater balance between mind, body and emotions.
cold white light
Cold lights, on the other hand, stimulate attention and concentration and since they are associated with the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, can often affect the feeling of calm, mood and even sleep.
