Night Lights

There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to enjoy time outdoors once the sun goes down. Especially in the summertime, entertaining guests outdoors is a great pastime. To make these experiences more pleasant and safe, you can install outdoor lighting.

Outdoor lighting can also highlight your home or certain areas of your landscaping. You can light your pool so you can swim safely at night. You can also light up your garden, or just certain plants in your garden to add emphasis on certain areas. You can also light your patio, porch, etc. As you can see, the possibilities are endless.

There are plenty of devices to choose from including low and high voltage options, solar power, etc. With all of the options, you are sure to find an option to fit your specific needs.

Lighting installation doesn’t have to be difficult. Some, complicated systems are a bit tough to install, but there are plenty of simple designs that are much easier. Street type lamps are some of the more complicated systems, because you have to bolt the lamps into the ground and cement them into place. Tiki or bamboo lights are much easier, because they can be propped up in the ground very easily.

The more difficult to install lighting options may need to be installed by professionals. This would save you from a lot of time and potential frustration. It may even be a good idea to have the simpler systems installed by professionals so they can give advice on the best places for the lights. The lights should be strategically places so they light the largest area with the least number of light fixtures.

You shouldn’t overcrowd your yard or garden with lights. More lights means an unnecessarily high electric bill. If you are concerned about saving power, you can use low voltage or solar powered lights in addition to strategically placing them. The correct amount of lights will add visibility without being overpowering. You will be sure to have a more pleasant experience outdoors at your home with an outdoor lighting system.

Question: I have been battling with insomnia for quite some time. The lack of sleep is really catching up with me and it is affecting every aspect of my life. HELP!!!

Answer: Not getting enough sleep is more than just an inconvenience, it can wreak havoc on your health. Sleep is the time for your body to rest and rejuvenate. Too little sleep will leave you feeling drowsy, unable to concentrate, and impair your memory the next day. Long-term sleep deprivation is more serious – it can result in mood swings, weakened immunity, hallucinations, depression, decreased ability to cope with stress, and increased susceptibility to illness and disease.

Adequate sleep is essential for your health. If you suffer from chronic insomnia, it is important to see a health care professional. If you choose to see a naturopathic doctor, he or she can help to determine the underlying causes and develop a customized treatment plan that will help to improve your sleep and overall health.

In the meantime, here are some simple suggestions that can help to guide you in the right direction:

• Avoid sugars/carbohydrates as before-bed snacks (e.g., sweets, bread, cereal, crackers, etc.). Such foods will raise your blood sugar levels and inhibit sleep. When blood sugar levels drop too low (hypoglycemia) in the middle of the night, you are likely to wake and may not be able to fall back asleep.

• Sleep in complete darkness or as close to darkness as possible. Make use of dark blinds and alarm clocks without lights. When light hits the eyes, it disrupts the production of your sleep hormones.

• No TV right before bed. Television is too stimulating to the brain and it will take longer to fall asleep.

• Read something relaxing before bed. Don’t read anything stimulating (e.g., mystery or suspense novels) as this may have the opposite effect.

• Get to bed as early as possible. Our systems do the majority of their recharging during the hours of 11pm and 1am. Prior to the widespread use of electricity, people would go to bed shortly after sundown and rise with the sun in the morning – this is what nature intended.

• Avoid caffeine. A recent study revealed that some people experience the effects of caffeine long after consuming it. For these people, an afternoon cup of coffee or tea can keep them awake for hours at night.

• Avoid alcohol. Although alcohol will make you feel drowsy initially, the effect is short lived. You will often wake up several hours later, unable to fall back asleep. Alcohol will also keep you from falling into the deeper stages of sleep, where the body does most of its healing.

• Don’t drink any fluids within 2 hours of going to bed. This will reduce the likelihood of needing to get up to go to the washroom.

• Remove the clock from view. Seeing the time will only add to your worry about not being able to fall asleep.

In addition to path lights, there are also wall lights, spotlights and uplights that are low voltage. Each of these, as well as other types of low voltage light fixtures, can be used in a variety of ways in lots of different places around your home and garden.

Spotlights as the name suggests are used to illuminate one particular spot or area. They may be used to highlight some of landscape plantings such as small trees or to make a piece of garden art or sculpture a focal point at night. Spotlights generally are mounted on a stake and have a base that swivels in order to better aim the beam of light exactly where you want it to shine.

Uplights are somewhat like spotlights and in some situations the two can be used interchangeably. The main difference is that uplights are also offered as recessed lights, so the housing of the light is buried in the ground or recessed into the floor of a deck, porch or patio. These are best used when you don’t want the light fixture to be visible.The enclosed light itself is usually adjustable, so it can be pointed where you want the light.

Wall lights are mounted on the wall of a your home or another structure. The great thing about wall lights is that they can often provide both ambient lighting at night as well as a decorative touch in the daytime.
