Buy a red bulb and sleep better. That advice is everywhere, it’s tidy, and it’s incomplete enough to leave high performers stuck. A circadian rhythm night light isn’t a color choice. It’s a decision about how much light reaches your eyes, for how long, and at what time of night. Get those three wrong and

“Choose a warm-white bulb for better sleep” is common advice, but it’s not a reliable buying rule. A bulb’s color temperature doesn’t tell you how much circadian-active light reaches your eyes.

Waking up with blurry vision after waking up is often blamed on sleep deprivation, dehydration, or “sleep inertia.” That explanation is convenient, but it’s incomplete.

You wake up, pull back the covers, and find a red mark on an expensive blanket. There may be a meeting in an hour, the blanket may contain delicate wool or weighted filling, and your first instinct is to reach for hot water and scrub. Resist both. The fastest way to make blood harder to
