Exploring light exposure of hospital nurses working rapidly rotating shifts in relation to sleepiness and sleep

Nightshift work can negatively impact sleep, performance, and health. Careful manipulation of light exposure patterns can help reduce these negative effects but is challenging in conditions of rapidly rotating shiftwork and due to individual differences. A ...

The genomic landscape of human cellular circadian variation points to a novel role for the signalosome

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Konstantin Popadin, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin

The importance of natural gene expression variation for human behavior is undisputed, but its impact on circadian physiology remains mostly unexplored. Using umbilical cord fibroblasts, we have determined by genome-wide association how common genetic varia ...

Diurnal variations of hormonal secretion, alertness and cognition in extreme chronotypes under different lighting conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Lenka Maierova

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are modulated by external factors such as light or temperature. We studied whether self-selected office lighting during the habitual waking period had a different impact on alertness, cognitive performance and h ...

Sustained Sleep Fragmentation Induces Sleep Homeostasis in Mice

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Marie Petit, Maxime Olivier Baud

Study Objectives: Sleep fragmentation (SF) is an integral feature of sleep apnea and other prevalent sleep disorders. Although the effect of repetitive arousals on cognitive performance is well documented, the effects of long-term SF on electroencephalogra ...

The Impact of Light Including Non-Image Forming Effects on Visual Comfort

Apiparn Borisuit

Visual comfort at workplaces has often been considered in terms of discomfort glare, luminance distribution and task visibility. Besides visual effects, the lighting environment has also impact on human physiology and behaviour. These effects of light are ...

Significance of View Direction in Simulating Circadian Potential of Architectural Spaces

Sharon Jane Gochenour

This research paper aims to simplify the question of how to take human movement into account when assessing the lighting conditions of a space. For a person working at a desk throughout the day doing paper-based or screen-based tasks, if it is assumed that ...

Circadian Clock Characteristics Are Altered in Human Thyroid Malignant Nodules

Daniel Sage, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Olivia Mariani

Context: The circadian clock represents the body's molecular time-keeping system. Recent findings revealed strong changes of clock gene expression in various types of human cancers. Objective: Due to emerging evidence on the connection between the circadia ...
