Sleep Lights
Your evening bulbs could be keeping you awake. These block the blue light that delays sleep, amber for the evening and red for deep night, in standard Australian fittings.

Why standard bulbs keep you awake
Most globes, including the ones sold as warm white, still emit real amounts of blue light. Even dimmed. Even behind a shade. The colour looks warm, but the spectrum often isn't.
Blue light blocking bulbs are engineered to eliminate the 400 to 500nm range, not just reduce it. The warm glow they give off is what's left once the blue is gone, and that's the part that matters for melatonin.
Amber, for your evening
Amber light is your evening default. It's what you live under from dinner to bed: living areas, kitchen, bedside, hallway. Bright enough to read and move around normally, without the alerting signal that keeps you wired. For most people, swapping the rooms you use at night is the single change that makes the biggest difference in the first week.
Red, for deep night
Red light goes a step further. It blocks blue and green light, which makes it the most protective option for the hours you're actually asleep. Reach for a red bulb where a normal light would jolt you awake: the bathroom or hallway at 2am, a bedside lamp, a child's room for night feeds. Amber for winding down. Red for staying down.
