Summary
This paper discusses the effects of daytime light exposure on human functioning, including alertness, vitality, performance, and physiological arousal, and explores individuals' preferences for light settings.
Categories
Alertness and performance: The paper investigates how light affects a person's alertness and ability to perform tasks during the day.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light can affect cognitive processing and the ability to stay focused on mentally demanding tasks.
Well-being: The paper explores the role of daytime light exposure in human mental wellbeing, including experiences of alertness and vitality.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper investigates individuals' preferred light settings and discusses the potential for personalized lighting applications to optimize light settings for users.
