Effects of light intervention on alertness and mental performance during the post-lunch dip: a multi-measure study


Abstract

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.
