Summary
This paper examines the arousal effects of blue-white light in the morning, with a focus on the role of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) as a third photoreceptor beyond color-sensing cells. The findings have practical implications for lighting design, suggesting that blue-enriched morning light can enhance alertness and support healthy circadian rhythms in workplace and daily living environments.
