Summary
This study investigates the effect of exposure to dim light at night (dLAN) on functional brain activation during a working-memory tasks, finding that exposure to dLAN can reduce brain activation.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how exposure to dim light at night can affect sleep quality and brain function.
Cognitive function and memory: The study investigates the impact of dim light at night on working-memory tasks, finding that it can reduce brain activation.
Lighting Design Considerations: The study's findings have implications for lighting design, particularly in residential areas where exposure to dim light at night can affect sleep and cognitive function.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential negative effects of exposure to dim light at night on well-being, through its impact on sleep quality and cognitive function.
