When you find yourself in the office setting, you barely notice the impact that the usual fluorescent lamps have on you. Unknowingly, you fail to realize that it affects various parts of your production that includes alertness and being less sleepy.
Traditionally this was never noticed. But apparently based on studies, the lighting you have at the office or even your home does indeed play a vital role in keeping you awake and productive.
Research carried out at the Surrey Sleep Centre at the University of Surrey in partnership with Philips Lighting has revealed that changing traditional white-light lighting to blue-enriched white light helped office workers stay more alert and less sleepy during the day.
