We'll show you how to set up and automate smart lights for better sleep. We'll also cover the different types of smart lights and accessories you can use, and we'll share some examples of automations that we use.

But how exactly do smart lights help you get better sleep? Smart lights can help you sleep better by mimicking the natural light cycle. In the morning, they can gradually brighten to simulate a sunrise, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and alert. At night, they can gradually dim to simulate a sunset, helping you wind down and fall asleep more easily. We'll get more into the science of how this works in the video. And if you want to read even more about sleep and what can impact it, check out "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker PHD, which helped inspire this video: [ Ссылка ]
