Impact of blue-depleted white light on pupil dynamics, melatonin suppression and subjective alertness following real-world light exposure

Impact of blue-depleted white light on pupil dynamics, melatonin suppression and subjective alertness following real-world light exposure

Abstract Background The non-image forming system, which conveys light information to circadian and sleep centers in the brain, is optimized to respond to short wavelengths of light (blue). Exposure to white light with reduced blue content can cause lower than expected circadian and sleep responses....
