Optimized office lighting advances melatonin phase and peripheral heat loss prior bedtime

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Marta Benedetti, Lenka Maierova

Improving indoor lighting conditions at the workplace has the potential to support proper circadian entrainment of hormonal rhythms, sleep, and well-being. We tested the effects of optimized dynamic daylight and electric lighting on circadian phase of mela ...
