Toilettes la nuit
Quand je reviens des toilettes, je me rendors maintenant en cinq minutes. Avant, je me retournais dans mon lit pendant une heure. La différence est énorme.

The toilet trip
You fall asleep fine. So why are you wide awake after the toilet?
Bedside lamp, hallway light, bathroom light. Before you blame your bladder or your age, look at the light you switch on.

You wake up. You need the toilet. You lie still for a minute and hope it passes. It does not, so you get up, half asleep.
Your hand finds the switch. The bathroom light comes on: white tiles, a mirror, the brightest room in your home.
Two minutes later you are back in bed, eyes closed and wide awake.
From forums
I’m never going to get back to sleep again
A Mumsnet user, in a thread about waking in the night
Unfortunately, after going I find it hard to fall back asleep.
A reader on a German forum, translated from German
Look at the light you switch on
People blame the bladder, the evening tea, their age. Almost nobody blames the light.
Walk the route in your head. The bedside lamp, to find your slippers. The hallway light, so you do not hit the door frame. The bathroom ceiling light, the only switch in there. Every one of them is white light, and the bathroom light is the brightest: LED spots on white tiles, straight into eyes that were closed a minute ago.
Harvard sleep lab
90minutes
Room light in the evening cut about 90 minutes off the body’s night.
Melatonin is the signal that tells your body it is night. In a Harvard sleep lab, people who sat in ordinary room light before bed started making it later. Their melatonin night was about 90 minutes shorter. Red is the colour the body clock reacts to least.
Gooley JJ et al., Harvard Medical School. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011.
The same bathroom, three lights
Bright white light at night signals daytime to your body clock. Tap each light and look at how much of the room it lights.
Tap a light and watch the room
Ceiling light
The whole room lights up: every tile, the mirror and the hallway behind you. The brightest light in your home.
Under-sink light
Lower and warmer. Still white light, and it still reaches the floor, the walls and the door.
Red night light
One red lamp by the sink. You see the tap, the floor and the toilet. The mirror and the hallway stay dark.
What people try first
- The phone flashlight. A white beam at the floor. On the way back, the screen lights up with a message.
- A plug-in sensor light. Its own buyers say it is too bright on the lowest setting, and it cuts out after about 30 seconds while you are still sitting there.
- A dimmer on the bathroom light. Better. But dimmed white is still white, and it still fills the hallway.
What a light for this walk needs to do
- Deep red, not white. The colour your body clock reacts to least.
- Dims very low. Enough for the floor and the seat, not the whole tiled room.
- Goes with you. No plug in one room, no sensor that cuts out halfway.
- Comes on where you left it. Never full power in the middle of the night.
We built Lampiero around this list.

A red night light for the walk to the toilet and back
Leave the bathroom light off tonight. Touch the lamp on by your bed, lift it by the loop in its base and take it with you. It lights the floor, the toilet and the sink. The rest of the house stays dark.
Go back to bed half asleep.

Slide a finger along the top
Slide left for less light, right for more. Try it on the picture.
FaintOnly the lamp and the edge of the sink. Enough to find the door.

MediumThe whole sink and the floor around it. Still only red light.

Drag the dot along the arc
Set it low once. It comes back on at that level every night.

Toilettes la nuit
Génial
Pour aller aux toilettes la nuit, c'est parfait. Je la prends avec moi, je fais ce que j'ai à faire et je me rendors en quelques minutes. Avant, la lumière vive détruisait mon sommeil.

Questions readers ask
Is red light bright enough to see the toilet?
Yes. Set low, it lights the floor, the seat and the sink. Slide it up if you need more.
Does it click, or switch on by itself?
No. Every control is touch and there is no sensor. Touch it off back in bed, or set the timer for 30, 60 or 90 minutes. One charge lasts about a week of nights.
Try it for 30 nights
One lamp is enough to start. People who take two keep one by the bed and one in the bathroom, so there is nothing to carry.
