Circadian rhythms are internal manifestations of the solar day that permit adaptations to
predictable environmental temporal changes. These~ 24-h rhythms are controlled by …

Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

This study tested the hypothesis that acute exposure to light during nighttime sleep
adversely affects next-morning glucose homeostasis and whether this effect occurs via …

In recent decades, advances in lighting technology have precipitated exponential increases
in night sky brightness worldwide, raising concerns in the scientific community about the …

Temporal organization of physiology is critical for human health. In the past, humans
experienced predictable periods of daily light and dark driven by the solar day, which …

The ecological impacts of nighttime light pollution have been a longstanding source of
concern, accentuated by realized and projected growth in electrical lighting. As human …

The circadian system serves one of the most fundamental properties present in nearly all
organisms: it generates 24-h rhythms in behavioral and physiological processes and …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing exponentially worldwide, accelerated by the
transition to new efficient lighting technologies. However, ALAN and resulting light pollution …

Abstract In 2007, the International Agency for Research on Cancer declared shift work that
involved circadian disruption to be a “probable” carcinogen (group 2A), noting that human …

Most organisms display endogenously produced∼ 24-hour fluctuations in physiology and
behavior, termed circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are driven by a transcriptional …
