Investigating the Effects of Evening Light Exposure on Melatonin Suppression, Alertness and Nocturnal Sleep
Investigating the Effects of Evening Light Exposure on Melatonin Suppression, Alertness and Nocturnal Sleep.
The timing and quality of sleep is governed by environmental and physiologic factors. Environmental factors, especially ambient lighting can impact the circadian system and alter the timing and structure of sleep. Light exposure can also acutely alter neural activation state and impair sleep. These effects all demonstrate marked sensitivity to short-wavelength blue light with maximal sensitivity in the 460-480 nm range. The alerting effects of blue light in the evening persist for at least 3-4 hours after the lights are turned off, and can disturb subsequent sleep. Avoiding these deleterious effects of light exposure prior to sleep on subsequent sleep would be beneficial to sleep quality and potentially health.
The investigators will compare the effects of two light sources, equated for visual stimulus (lux), on multiple non-visual responses to light. The investigators will compare a 90 lux exposure of a commercially available Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) with a novel LED white light source that is depleted in the short-wavelength visible range (Biological Illumination LCC, FL). In a within-subject design, the investigators will test the hypotheses that exposure to a blue-depleted LED as compared to a CFL exposure at (1) 90 lux or (2) 50 lux will cause significantly:
- Less melatonin suppression between melatonin onset and bedtime;
- Less subjective and objective alerting responses before bedtime;
- Less disruption of nocturnal sleep structure and quality.

Melatonin Suppression
時間枠:6-h constant posture interval of the light exposure
|
Melatonin suppression is measured as the percentage of melatonin AUC relative to the AUC measured in dim light on the previous day.
AUC was calculated during the 6 h of light exposure and the corresponding 6-h interval 24 hours earlier.
Higher values indicate more light-induced melatonin suppression.

Sleep Structure
時間枠:8-h time in bed immediately following CFL/LED light exposure.
|
Sleep efficiency assessed by polysomnography.
Sleep efficiency refers to the percentage of time a person sleeps, in relation to the amount of time a person spends in bed trying to sleep.
The percentage is calculated by dividing the Total Sleep Time by the Total Time in Bed.
|
8-h time in bed immediately following CFL/LED light exposure.
|
Sleep Quality
時間枠:First morning after 8-h time in bed immediately following CFL/LED light exposure.
|
Self-reported sleep quality was assessed using a post sleep questionnaire.
Score on subjective scale range 1-7, higher scores indicate higher sleep quality.
|
First morning after 8-h time in bed immediately following CFL/LED light exposure.

Subjective Alerting Response
時間枠:6-h constant posture interval of the light exposure.
|
Self-reported sleepiness measured during the light exposure using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS).
Range of scores 1-9, higher score indicate higher subjective sleepiness.
Measures were taken hourly throughout the 6-hour constant posture interval of the light exposure and then averaged to calculate a single value per participant.

Objective Alerting Response
時間枠:6-h constant posture interval of the light exposure
|
Mean reaction time assessed using the 10-minute psychomotor vigilance test.
Higher numbers indicate slower reaction times indicating less alertness.
Measures were taken hourly throughout the 6-hour constant posture interval of the light exposure and then averaged to calculate a single value per participant.
