[HTML][HTML] Effects of light on human circadian rhythms, sleep and mood
Humans live in a 24-hour environment, in which light and darkness follow a diurnal pattern.
Our circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the hypothalamus, is …

Systematic review of light exposure impact on human circadian rhythm
L Tähkämö, T Partonen, AK Pesonen - Chronobiology international, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Light is necessary for life, and artificial light improves visual performance and safety, but
there is an increasing concern of the potential health and environmental impacts of light …

Irregular sleep/wake patterns are associated with poorer academic performance and delayed circadian and sleep/wake timing
The association of irregular sleep schedules with circadian timing and academic
performance has not been systematically examined. We studied 61 undergraduates for 30 …

A review of human physiological responses to light: implications for the development of integrative lighting solutions
Architectural lighting has potent biological effects but applied lighting practices that
capitalize on this potential have been limited. In this review, we endeavor to consolidate and …

Human-centric lighting: Myth, magic or metaphor?
This paper discusses the rise of human-centric lighting and its current status in lighting. We
summarise the human benefits associated with light and lighting and show that human …

Melatonin suppression is exquisitely sensitive to light and primarily driven by melanopsin in humans
Introduction Light elicits a range of non‐visual responses in humans. Driven predominantly
by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), but also by rods and/or cones …

Electric lighting, adolescent sleep and circadian outcomes, and recommendations for improving light health
Light is a potent circadian entraining agent. For many people, daily light exposure is
fundamentally dysregulated with reduced light during the day and increased light into the …

[HTML][HTML] Melanopsin contributions to non-visual and visual function
M Spitschan - Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2019 - Elsevier
Melanopsin is a short-wavelength-sensitive photopigment that was discovered only around
20 years ago. It is expressed in the cell bodies and processes of a subset of retinal ganglion …
