The effect of self-luminous electronic displays on melatonin
Summary:
This paper discusses the effects of light from self-luminous electronic displays on melatonin levels and performance, and suggests that manufacturers can use this information to produce displays that minimize the risk of nocturnal melatonin suppression.
Categories
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how light from electronic displays can suppress melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, potentially disrupting sleep patterns.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores how light from electronic displays can affect performance, potentially impacting cognitive function.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper suggests that the information about the impact of light from electronic displays on melatonin suppression can be used by manufacturers in designing displays.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the regulation of the hormone melatonin, which can be suppressed by light from electronic displays.
