Summary
This paper appears to primarily concern obstructive sleep apnea and polysomnography findings related to body position during sleep, though the available abstract fragment discusses ipRGC-mediated light signaling to the SCN. The abstract excerpt suggests some discussion of how light sources like computers and smartphones activate intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, relevant to circadian entrainment in clinical populations.
