# Wind down

In the hour before your bedtime, if you have been at your desk for twenty
minutes, the lamp gives one slow, sleepy droop and its light goes a shade
dimmer, and it says one short, gentle line: a hint that the day is ending. The light stays that shade dimmer
while you stay, and is given back when you leave the desk (a couple of
minutes after you go).

Its bedtime is the end of its hours, 22:00 to 23:00 as it comes, for a
bedtime at 23:00: its owner sets them to their own in its `skill.toml`
(`[active]`, with `[quiet]` from the bedtime to the morning).

What it says and when:

- It says one short, gentle line, worded by the voice the way a friend
  would: no lecture.
- Once an evening, never while you read or write head down (with the
  eyes' activity on), never in the middle of a conversation, and never from
  bedtime to the morning.
- With the eyes' activity on, the sitting is yours: someone else sitting down in
  your chair begins it again, so it is never theirs at your 20 minutes.
- With Bedtime and Morning on the lamp, the night is Bedtime and Morning's:
  Wind down never starts from bedtime on, and gives its light back as you
  leave the desk, when Bedtime and Morning's night begins.
- At most one of the wellbeing nudges (this, A sip of water, Rest your eyes
  and Stand up) an hour between them; with the lamp's `LAMP_NUDGES_PRESENT`
  switch on (#5207, set in the product's skills units), two an hour, never
  within half an hour of each other.
- "Not tonight" or "stop the wind-down" to the lamp (one function for the
  four wellbeing nudges: the one that came last, or all of them) snoozes it until
  tomorrow morning or turns it off until you ask for it again.

It keeps nothing about you: only, in memory, whether it went today and
whether it is resting; off is one line with its name.

A core skill: it comes with the lamp, on, and can be turned off by voice
or in the app.

If asked about it, the lamp says something like: "Late in the evening, if
you're still at the desk, I get a little sleepy, dim myself and say the
day's ending. Say 'not tonight' and I'll leave it."
