What Is Our Circadian Rhythm and Why Is It Important? Find Out Here

Do your days often go something like this?

You wake up feeling groggy, wishing you had more time to sleep. You settle into the office with a cup of coffee, and it’s not long before you feel like you need another. But by nighttime, you lie in bed, unable to sleep, glancing at the clock every ten minutes.  

If so, it sounds like your circadian rhythm is out of sync. The circadian rhythm is the 24-hour cycle that tells our bodies when it’s time to sleep and eat. Many factors influence our inner clocks, a significant one being lighting.

Natural daylight tells our mind that when it’s dark, it’s time to sleep, and when it’s bright, we’re awake. But what if we spend the majority of our time indoors? And now that the winter days are shorter in South Florida, we’re spending even more time under lightbulbs.

Circadian lighting can help. Smart technology is already assisting homeowners across Fort Lauderdale to feel their best and live more productive lives. Read on to learn how circadian lighting works, why it’s beneficial, and how it will enhance your daily life.

Looking for a New Television? Here’s What We Love About the X950H

We’ve all heard of Sony, but unless you’re a hardcore audio-video enthusiast (like us), you might not be following the releases of their new televisions. TVs have come a long way in recent years, and if you’re ready for a new display, make sure you’re choosing the best in 4K definition.

Sony LED TVs are all impressive, but the new X950H is a standout model for many reasons. It’s an upgrade on the X900H version with stunning 4K visuals. But unlike their flashier 8K TVs, the X950H is a more practical choice for everyday use, from gaming to home cinema enjoyment.

If you’re looking for a new TV in the high-mid tier range, the X950H could be an excellent choice for your Fort Lauderdale, FL home. We highlight all you need to know about the X950H below.
