Getting smart lights at home.

I live in Sweden, I also live alone, this means that for about a third of the year it is dark when I get home. Which means that when I open my apartment it is just a dark and depressing hole that I stepped into.

With smart lights I can turn on some of the lights before I open the door, and get to step into a lit apartment with mood lighting active, it has had a huge impact on my mental health over the last six years.

My main lights are still normal dumb lights, but the hue system is amazing.

I also used to have a show auto play when I lived alone. Just some sitcom or cartoon I'd seen before. The noise helped my mood immensely.

Also a Swede - taking supplementary vitamin D in the winter season has given me a lot more energy to do things.
