Return to the night

Cutting down on the use of electric light will not only save you money, but will make you a more balanced person.

Too many people just flick on a light and keep working till way too late, I know because I am one of them. Too many times I use lights then leave the room only to return hours later just to turn them off.

If you are not in a room you don't need the lights to be on. (this goes for TVs and Computer screens as well)

There was a big movement back in the 80's focused on kids and not wasting electricity or water so we all were indoctrinated with the idea that leaving the tap running while brushing our teeth was the the 8th Deadly Sin.

Environmentalism aside, keeping yourself active through the "Artificial Sunlight" that electric lights provide keeps extending your work day and adding to your eye strain and diminishing your sleep.

In the old days they would work during daylight and then get some sleep.

Now all we do is work all day and then turn on the lights and keep on going.

Return to the night.

Cheers.
