News India Live, Digital Desk: Migraine sufferers often say that as soon as the pain starts, they feel like turning off everything and lying down in a dark room. In medical language it is called ‘photophobia’. But the problem increases when the lights in our own house increase or trigger this pain.
Why are these bright lights making you sick?
Nowadays we all have installed LED and bright lights in our houses. Experts believe that blue light is most dangerous for migraine patients. Apart from this, sometimes some lights do very slight ‘flickering’, which is not visible to our eyes but keeps disturbing our brain continuously.
What mistakes are we making?
- Dependence on a single bulb: Just shining a very bright light across the room.
- Very Bright White Light: Blue and bright white light tire the brain.
- Bad TV and mobile light: Keeping the room dark and just watching the screen also puts bad strain on the eyes.
How to improve it? (Simple Health Tips)
- Adopt Warm Lights: Instead of bright white light, use soft yellow or ‘warm white’ lights in the house. It provides relief to the eyes and reduces the risk of migraine.
- The magic of indirect lighting: Instead of directly shining the light on the eyes, use lamps whose face is towards the wall. Due to this the light comes diffused and does not prick.
- Let in natural light: Remove curtains in the morning. Natural sunlight is no less than a medicine for both your mood and headache.
- Dimmable Lights: If possible, install such switches so that the brightness of the lights can be increased or decreased.
