Abstract Light exposure is an essential driver of health and well-being, individual behaviours during rest activity modulate physiologically-relevant aspects light exposure. Further understanding the that influence photic patterns may provide insight into volitional contributions to physiological effects guide bevavioral points intervention. Here, we present a novel, self-reported psychometrically validated inventory capture exposure-related behaviour, Exposure Behaviour Assessment (LEBA). An expert panel prepared initial 48-item pool spanning different behaviours. Responses, consisting rating frequency engaging in per-item behaviour on 5-point Likert type scale, were collected online survey yielding responses from geographically unconstrained sample (690 completed responses, 74 countries, 28 time zones). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) subsample (n=428) rendered five-factor solution with 25 items (Wearing blue filters, spending outdoors, using phone smartwatch bed, before bedtime, morning daytime).

Measurement model invariance between native non-native English speakers showed our attained highest level (residual invariance; CFI=0.95, RMSEA=0.05).

Experimental and interventional studies show that light can regulate sleep timing sleepiness while awake by setting the phase of circadian rhythms supporting alertness. The extent to which differences in exposure explain variations within between individuals everyday life remains less clear. Here, we establish a method address this deficit, incorporating an open-source wearable wrist-worn logger (SpectraWear) smartphone-based online data collection. We use it simultaneously record longitudinal (in melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance), timing, subjective alertness over seven days convenience sample 59 UK adults without externally imposed challenge (e.g., shift work or jetlag). Participants reliably had strong daily but frequently were exposed during daytime more pre-bedtime episodes than recommended [T. M. Brown et al. , PLoS Biol. 20 e3001571 (2022)]. Prior several hours was associated with lower with, particular, brighter late episode after wake linked reduced early morning (sleep inertia). Higher longer onset latency. Early correlated reproducible robust patterns higher daytime/lower night-time exposure. Our study establishes for collecting health/performance provides evidence associations important determinants health performance.

Light use is rising steeply, mainly because of the advent light-emitting diode (LED) devices. LEDs are frequently blue-enriched light sources and may have different impacts on non-image forming (NIF) system, which maximally sensitive to blue-wavelength light. Most importantly, timing LED device widespread, leading novel exposure patterns NIF system. The goal this narrative review discuss multiple aspects that we think should be accounted for when attempting predict how situation will affect impact brain functions. We first cover both image-forming pathways brain. then detail our current understanding human cognition, sleep, alertness, mood. Finally, questions concerning adoption lighting screens, offer new opportunities improve well-being, but also raise concerns about increasing exposure, detrimental health, particularly in evening.

We examined the impact of an 8-h exposure to short-wavelength-enriched white light during day on cognitive performance, alertness, and mood moderately sleep-restricted university students in a simulated classroom setting. A total 28 participants (mean age: 23.57 ± 2.69; 19 female) were assigned one two conditions, each with equal melanopic daylight efficacy ratio (melDER∼0.9). However, they differed photopic illuminances, falling within upper lower limits prescribed standards for lighting: low illuminance (LI; 309.33 3.04 horizontal 128.26 7.37 vertical EDI lux) high (HI; 513 12.59 213.70 11.62 lux). Cognitive procedural memory, declarative subjective evaluated using N-back Task, Finger Tapping Free Recall Modified Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, Visual Analogue Scales, respectively. No statistically significant differences observed any measures between lighting conditions (p.adjusted > 0.05). These results indicate that exposures at illuminances current do not adversely affect mood, as assessed this study. findings have meaningful implications design, providing opportunity enhance energy efficiency without compromising working mood.

Daytime light levels are important for human physiology. Office workers spend most of their daytime inside buildings where it is unclear whether they receive healthy levels. A recent publication presented recommendations the minimum level optimal health, expressed in melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance (EDI). The current paper assesses this recommended achieved by office through a meta-analysis personal workers, obtained from light-dosimetry field studies. From our literature search, we identified nine eligible papers. These papers comprised data studies one or multiple buildings, over more seasons, 1 to 62 participants, and 19 564 workdays. After analysing data, found that none offices 250 EDI was met entire day. Only out 6 median 13 mean reported were above value. Unfortunately, these conclusions less groundbreaking than hoped for, due large differences between study protocols. This resulted variety (unreported) characteristics (i.e. light-dosimeter, participant, building environment) which complicated fair comparison different To facilitate meta-analyses studies, introduce collection reporting We based on gaps meta-analysis, supplemented other
