Abstract
Described are bed systems having a headboard, backward facing lights positioned at a back side of the headboard, and a controller operably connected to the backward facing lights that can drive the backward facing lights to provide circadian lighting. The backward facing lights can be recessed into the back side of the headboard. The backward facing lights can provide ambient lighting when controlled by the controller. The controller can determine when a user of the bed system is waking up and control the backward facing lights to provide circadian lighting that corresponds to a wakeup routine for the user. The controller can also determine when the user is going to sleep and control the backward facing lights to provide circadian lighting that corresponds to a sleep routine for the user. The backward facing lights can be LED strips positioned inside an extruded channel in the back side of the headboard.
