Effect of gestational exposure to dim light at night on the behavior of rat dams and offspring [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRecently, dim light at night (dLAN) has become nearly ubiquitous. Whereas nighttime light exposure is associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes, little is known about the effects of low-intensity light exposure at night during ...

Dim light at night exacerbates stroke outcome [PDF]
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 Abstract Circadian rhythms are endogenous biological cycles that synchronize physiology and behaviour to promote optimal function. These ~24‐hr internal rhythms are set to precisely 24 hr daily by exposure to the sun. However, the prevalence of night‐time lighting has the potential to dysregulate these biological functions.
