• The feeling of “kos” is crucial for Norwegian culture. It’s an equivalent to Danish Hygge. Wrapping yourself with a blanket, drinking hot chocolate and reading a good book is the epitome of kos.
• Philips Hue is a popular brand of smart light bulbs that allow you to adjust the temperature of the light – Eirik’s preferred model is E12
• We mutually agree that sleep quality and light environment are essential to us. The book Why We Sleep is a great scientific summary of what we know about sleep, light and hormones.
