INC. THIS MORNING Presented by     Inspired by insomnia Good morning, Colin Billings was losing sleep. It was 2014, and he spent long days under fluorescent lights looking at screens–followed by many nights awake with insomnia. He didn't connect the two until a friend suggested he try a program that could adjust his computer screen's color temperature. Within a week, Billings was sleeping better. It took a little longer to realize he had a startup idea: an adaptive system for modern lighting that wouldn't mess with humans' circadian rhythms.  "It captured my imagination because lighting is a powerful force in our lives,” says Billings.  But as a first-time CEO, he faced a steep learning curve on the way to engineering and designing the system, and unique challenges in bringing his innovative product to market.
