They also sell these at whole foods. Ever thought about trying aroma therapy? These are great because they're natural and you don't have to plug them in, lavender oil is my personal favorite for a relaxing bedroom.

Getting the lighting right in your space makes a huge difference, this is a great alternative to the ‘big light’ it feels warm but is still bright enough to see well. I've seen it used in therapy offices.
