Summary
This paper reviews heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of biological system health, covering 24-hour, short-term, and ultra-short-term HRV metrics and their normative values across populations. While titled in relation to light at night and human health, the abstract focuses on HRV methodology, offering limited direct guidance for lighting design but suggesting that circadian disruption from light at night may be assessable via HRV metrics.
