How to increase natural light in your bedroom – experts say it can lessen morning fatigue and help us sleep better

A light blue-painted bedroom with a bright green side table and scalloped mirror hung above the bed.

There’s no worse feeling than waking up after a long night’s rest, just to find that you’re still feeling tired. Not only does this delay our start to the morning, but a bad case of morning fatigue can negatively impact our mood, energy and productivity levels for the whole rest of the day. Does this sound familiar? It might be worth maximising natural light levels in your home.

It’s no secret that natural light is a guaranteed mood-booster, and a new study has revealed that the light conditions in the morning before we wake up has a direct effect on our restfulness. In fact, the research found that increased levels of natural light into the bedroom each morning can improve wakefulness, lessen fatigue, and keep us alert throughout the day.
