Smart lightbulbs are so useful and I will probably never be without them again. I bought a set of 4 Globe brand ones for ~$30 CAD and I use them in my bedroom and my chicken coop. The ones in the coop mimic daylight and brighten/dim with sunrise/sunset, while the ones in my bedroom are just set to a lower brightness when it is dark outside, and I can turn them on independently for even less intense light.

Sounds great for people who have a normal work roster. I do shift work so often sleep during the day/stay awake at night.

When I worked nights, I programmed my lights to wake me up at 7pm, and just disabled that routine on my Google Home when I wasn't working.

My curtains suck too much for lights to be effective, and renting means I can't change them. Glad you found something that worked for you!
