Alerting or somnogenic light: pick your color
Summary:
This paper discusses the effects of different colors of light on sleep and alertness in both humans and mice, and suggests that the color spectrum of light is a key parameter in understanding these effects.
Categories
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how different colors of light can either promote sleep or alertness in both humans and mice.
- Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how different colors of light can either promote sleep or alertness in both humans and mice.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how different colors of light can affect cognitive performance and alertness in humans.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper suggests that the color spectrum of light is a key parameter to consider in lighting design, particularly with the emergence of LED light technology.
