Dim Lights in Late Afternoon and Evening

As the day progresses, reduce exposure to very bright artificial light by dimming fixtures and lowering them in the room, especially in the afternoon and evening. This shifts stimulation away from the upper visual field and helps dial down alertness, supporting a smoother transition into more creative, abstract, or wind-down states later in the day.

Now, in the afternoon, starting at about 9:00 and continuing until about 16 hours after waking, you want to start dimming the lights in that environment.
