Adjustable Colour Changing Light and Sensory Perception

I have a question for fellow autistic people. I have an adjustable colour changing light in my room and I can change the brightness and I've noticed that sometimes the same level of brightness and stuff is sometimes too dark and sometimes too bright and I was wondering if anybody else can relate? idk if my exhaustion has anything to do with increased light sensitivity or not 😅.

Can you help? Connect today
