Towards a sustainable indoor lighting design: Effects of artificial light on the emotional state of adolescents in the classroom
Summary:
This paper discusses the effects of artificial light, specifically from LED sources, on the emotional state and health of adolescents, with a focus on the impact on circadian rhythms and mood.
Categories
- Education and learning: The paper discusses the impact of artificial light in educational settings, such as classrooms, on adolescents' mood and health.
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper explores how exposure to artificial light, particularly at night, can disrupt circadian rhythms and potentially contribute to sleep disorders.
- Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how light exposure can influence alertness and performance in adolescents, particularly in relation to school performance.
- Mood regulation: The paper examines how light exposure can influence mood in adolescents, with a particular focus on the potential negative effects of artificial light.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the need for careful consideration of lighting design in settings frequented by adolescents, such as classrooms, to mitigate potential negative health effects.
