Summary
This paper reviews the age-related differences in non-visual effects of light, focusing on melatonin suppression, circadian phase shift, and pupillary light reflex in children to older adults.
Categories
Aging: The paper discusses how aging affects the non-visual effects of light, including melatonin suppression, circadian phase shift, and pupillary light reflex.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of light in synchronizing the biological clock, which is crucial for cognitive function and memory.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of light in regulating sleep/wake rhythms, which is relevant to sleep disorders such as insomnia.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of light in regulating the hormone melatonin, which is crucial for sleep and circadian rhythms.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how understanding the non-visual effects of light can inform lighting design for different age groups.
