How Can Lighting Design Help Reduce Stress in High-Pressure Jobs?

I’ve been curious about how lighting design might impact mental clarity and stress levels, especially for guys in high-pressure roles. I work as a health inspector, and while my job isn’t always glamorous, it can get pretty intense. I’ve noticed that the environments I work in whether it’s a dimly lit kitchen or a brightly lit office really affect my focus and mood.

I’m also into esports, and I’ve seen how pro gamers use lighting to create immersive, focused setups. It got me wondering: could similar principles apply to other high-stress jobs? For example, are there specific types of lighting color temperatures, brightness levels, or even placement that help reduce stress and improve mental clarity?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s explored this or has experience with lighting design in high-pressure environments. What’s worked for you? Are there any tips or setups you’d recommend for someone looking to create a more calming, focused workspace?
