Summary
This thesis explores how circadian rhythms and sleep disturbances interact with cognitive function in mood disorder patients, providing insights relevant to chronotherapeutic lighting interventions. Understanding these relationships can inform timing and intensity of therapeutic light exposure for depressed individuals.
