Summary
This paper investigates the effects of morning light exposure on cognitive performance, mood, and well-being, particularly under conditions of sleep restriction, and finds that exposure to artificial morning dawn simulation light improves these factors with minimal impact on circadian phase.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper investigates the effects of morning light exposure on cognitive performance, particularly under conditions of sleep restriction.
