Switch to ambient lighting

Lamps are THE accessory to utilise in winter because they cast a lovely warming glow, to escape the darkness of winter. The bedroom is one room where they matter most. Switching on a bedside lamp when you wake is great for gently brightening dark mornings; the soft glow allows your eyes to adjust rather than straining them with harsh overhead lights.

Come bedtime a lamp creates a serene ambient light that will have you in the right mindset for sleep. Experts say you should dim the lights an hour before bed to help create the perfect sleep environment, to drift off effortlessly once it's lights out.
