Summary
This paper discusses the importance of circadian light in interior design and its impact on human health, arguing for a greater emphasis on circadian light in lighting design and making this knowledge more accessible to designers and practitioners.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the importance of circadian light in interior design and its impact on human health, arguing for a greater emphasis on circadian light in lighting design.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that productivity, alertness, and delayed cognitive deterioration are all associated with high color temperature ranges, which mimic the color temperature of daylight.
Well-being: The paper discusses the impact of circadian light on human wellness, including physiological and psychological effects.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of circadian light in regulating sleep patterns and the potential health implications of disrupted circadian rhythms.
Cancer treatment and prevention: The paper mentions research showing a link between circadian disruption and diseases such as breast and prostate cancer.
Obesity and Weight Management: The paper mentions research showing a link between circadian disruption, sleep loss, and conditions such as obesity and diabetes.
