Differential impact in young and older individuals of blue-enriched white light on circadian physiology and alertness during sustained wakefulness
Abstract We tested the effect of different lights as a countermeasure against sleep-loss decrements in alertness, melatonin and cortisol profile, skin temperature and wrist motor activity in healthy young and older volunteers under extendend wakefulness. 26 young [mean (SE): 25.0 (0.6) y)] and 12 ol...
