A nearby home for retired folk has a Memory Care Unit that keeps its interior brightly lighted.

In my first marriage, I often brought work home from the office and continued work in the evening in my "home office."That home office was bright , both in paint and illumination. Then,my wife decided that she was going to wallpaper the room. I asked her not to make the room darker in any way.

She proceeded to install dark wallpaper. From then on, after dinner during the week, I went back to my formal office and often worked until midnight to 2 AM during the work week. I often wondered if she did it out of sheer arrogance of whether she wanted my out of the house in the evening. .

This is very important during lockdowns.
