Summary
This paper discusses the impact of light exposure on non-visual responses such as alertness, sleep, health and other neurobehavioral processes, and the implications of these findings for architectural design and 'light hygiene' in the built environment.
Categories
Dementia: The paper references studies on the importance of daylight in dementia care communities, suggesting a potential relevance to this category.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the effects of light exposure on sleep, making it relevant to this category.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the effects of light exposure on alertness and performance, making it relevant to this category.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the effects of light exposure on neurobehavioral processes, which could include cognitive function and memory, making it relevant to this category.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential impact of light exposure on health and well-being, making it relevant to this category.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the implications of light exposure findings for architectural design, making it relevant to this category.
