Hello, Everyone

My Brazilian Rain Tree is doing so much better than before and is branching out new leaves. I started noticing, however, that the leaves have started to become droopier as the days pass. I believe that it's because I close the blinds completely shut before I go to sleep, and previously, I let them a little open so It could still get sunlight while I am sleeping. I also don't know if it is because the amount of sunlight is getting throughout the day is getting shorter. I do want to buy a supplemental light source, but I'm not sure which one I should get based on the dimensions of my room. I also wanted to ask if I should be doing any wiring and if there is any helpful hints out there that can help me. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you all and have a good day.


Also, I apologize for the weird sized images.

Do you work the night shift? Why is it getting sunlight while you are sleeping?

I don't work a night shift, and it doesn't' necessarily get light at night. It just happens to be that the sun rises quite early in the morning, so I do want it to get sun as soon as it can while I am sleeping.

The leaves fold at night too, that much is normal...
The 3rd pic looks pretty good

It's hard to see in the pictures, but there is a small branch that doesn't have the leaves rising (they are droopy), and I think it's because of a bigger bundle of leaves that block the light. What should I do? leave it alone, or prune it?

Think you're being too picky. Looks healthy to me. Give it as much light as possible and don't overwater.
