Summary
This paper investigates the effects of intermittent light exposure in the evening on alertness and subsequent sleep architecture, finding that intermittent light was as effective as continuous bright light in enhancing subjective and objective alertness and negatively impacting subsequent sleep.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper investigates the effects of intermittent light exposure in the evening on subsequent sleep architecture, finding that it negatively impacts sleep.
Alertness and performance: The paper investigates the effects of intermittent light exposure in the evening on alertness, finding that it enhances both subjective and objective alertness.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper compares the effects of intermittent light exposure, continuous bright light, and continuous dim light, providing insights that could be useful for lighting design.
