Summary
This paper investigates the effects of dynamic lighting on sleep, cognitive performance, and well-being in a sample of 14 senior home residents, finding no significant differences in outcome variables between two lighting conditions.
Categories
Dementia: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on cognitive deterioration in senior home residents with Alzheimer's disease.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper explores the effects of light exposure on sleep disruptions common among nursing home patients.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper examines the relationship between light exposure and cognitive performance in senior home residents.
Aging: The paper focuses on the effects of light exposure on sleep, cognition, and well-being in a sample of senior home residents.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper investigates the effects of dynamic and individual light exposure, comparing conventional lighting with circadian lighting in a senior home setting.
