Scientific Notes
Ambient warmth & parasympathetic drift
Soft luminance paired with warm beverages can activate vagal tone within 6 minutes. We cite Dr. Huberman’s thermal layering experiments and explain how mild heat nudges the parasympathetic system for deeper reading focus.
Personal Log
Personal log: Turning off the overhead light
Therma’s journal had me log scent, sound, and light. I noticed lavender made me nostalgic, so I swapped to cedar. The first night the nook felt contrived, but by day five the ritual cued my body to slow down before I even opened the book.
