Summary
This paper discusses an experiment testing the use of spectrally tunable lighting systems in an office environment to improve comfort, alertness, and sleep quality.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of lighting on sleep quality, with the aim of using lighting to improve sleep patterns.
Alertness and performance: The study investigates the effects of lighting on alertness and performance in an office setting.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper explores the use of spectrally tunable lighting systems, which can mimic natural daylight or achieve specific levels of visual and non-visual stimulation.
Well-being: The study aims to assess whether tailored lighting conditions can bring measurable benefits in terms of well-being and productivity in an indoor workplace.
