Summary
The paper investigates the impact of solid state roadway lighting on melatonin levels in humans, focusing on drivers, pedestrians, and those experiencing light trespass in their homes, and finds that recommended levels of street lighting do not elicit an acute suppression of salivary melatonin.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the impact of solid state roadway lighting, a lighting design consideration, on melatonin levels in humans.
Hormone regulation: The paper investigates the impact of roadway lighting on the regulation of melatonin, a hormone, in humans.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper indirectly relates to sleep and insomnia by investigating the impact of roadway lighting on melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.
