Behavioural determinants of physiologically-relevant light exposure

Behavioural determinants of physiologically-relevant light exposure

Blog Article

Abstract Light exposure triggers a range of physiological and behavioural responses that can improve and challenge health and well-being.Insights from laboratory studies have recently culminated in standards and guidelines for measuring and assessing healthy light Collections exposure, and recommendations for healthy light levels.Implicit to laboratory paradigms is a simplistic input-output relationship between light and Graduate its effects on physiology.

This simplified approach ignores that humans actively shape their light exposure through behaviour.This article presents a novel framework that conceptualises light exposure as an individual behaviour to meet specific, person-based needs.Key to healthy light exposure is shaping behaviour, beyond shaping technology.
