Summary
This paper investigates the effects of different light conditions on alertness and mental performance during the post-lunch dip, finding that both red and blue-enriched white light can improve physiological correlates of alertness, but these changes did not translate to improvements in task performance and subjective alertness.
Categories
Alertness and performance: The paper investigates the effects of different light conditions on alertness and mental performance during the post-lunch dip.
Lighting Design Considerations: The study uses different lighting conditions (blue-enriched white light, red saturated white light, normal white light, and dim light) to investigate their effects on alertness and mental performance.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper uses tasks that measure cognitive function and memory to assess the effects of different light conditions on mental performance.
