Abstract

Summary

The paper discusses the impact of evening display light on sleep latency, melatonin and alertness, and identifies melanopic irradiance as a parameter to mitigate the unwanted effects of screen use at night.

Categories

Sleep and insomnia: The paper investigates how evening light-emitting visual displays may disrupt sleep and suggests that controlling melanopic irradiance can help mitigate these effects.
Alertness and performance: The study explores how evening display light can increase alertness and identifies melanopic irradiance as a factor that can decrease alertness, potentially improving sleep.
Hormone regulation: The paper examines the impact of evening display light on melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness, and suggests that controlling melanopic irradiance can help regulate melatonin levels.
Lighting Design Considerations: The study suggests that controlling melanopic irradiance in the design of light-emitting visual displays can help mitigate their unwanted effects on sleep and alertness.
