The influence of seasonal light on the circadian system
Summary:
This paper discusses the influence of seasonal light on the circadian system, focusing on the role of light in regulating circadian rhythms and the potential implications of disruptions to these rhythms.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light influences circadian rhythms, which are critical for cognitive function and memory.
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper explores how disruptions to circadian rhythms, which are influenced by light, can lead to sleep disorders such as insomnia.
- Alertness and performance: The paper suggests that disruptions to circadian rhythms, which are regulated by light, can impact alertness and performance.
- Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of light in regulating circadian rhythms, which is relevant to the field of phototherapy.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's focus on the influence of light on circadian rhythms has implications for lighting design considerations.
- Well-being: The paper suggests that disruptions to circadian rhythms, which are influenced by light, can impact overall well-being.
