Abstract

Human physiology and behaviour are organised at the 24-hour scale through our biological clock. Light exposure influences this clock through a pathway connecting our eyes to the central circadian pacemaker. Light at the wrong time can negatively impact our circadian rhythms and sleep, but light exposure can also have a strong positive influence by making us more alert. In this talk, Manuel Spitschan will discuss recent findings on how interdisciplinary research can help us use light optimally.
