In times past, we more or less got up at dawn and went to bed at sundown. If we got up very early or went to bed very late, we needed some sort of light to illuminate our way. It’s still much the same for many rural communities in developing countries. For example, if you ask people from a village in northern India what they do for lighting when the sun goes down, they will tell you that they are so tired by that time that they opt for going to bed. I am not saying we should all work ourselves to exhaustion so we go to bed earlier and save money on lighting, but we could reshape our lives to achieve a better balance between work, sleep, and play.
