Streetlights Disrupt Night-Time Sleep in Urban Black Swans

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Artificial light at night could have widespread and detrimental impacts on sleep. To reduce disruptive effects of artificial light on sleep in humans, most smartphones and computers now have software that reduces blue light emissions at night.

Personal light-at-night exposures and components of variability in two common shift work industries: uses and implications for future research

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Shift workers’ increased risk of various adverse health outcomes has been linked to light-at-night (LAN) exposure, but few studies have measured LAN exposure in workplaces.

Methods for Assessment and Monitoring of Light Pollution around Ecologically Sensitive Sites

Journal of Imaging, 2019
Since the introduction of electric lighting over a century ago, and particularly in the decades following the Second World War, indications of artificial light on the nighttime Earth as seen from Earth orbit have increased at a rate exceeding that of ...

A single night light exposure acutely alters hormonal and metabolic responses in healthy participants

Endocrine Connections, 2017
Many animal studies have reported an association between melatonin suppression and the disturbance of metabolic responses; yet, few human studies have investigated bright light effects on metabolic and hormonal responses at night. This study investigated

Balancing artificial light at night with turtle conservation? Coastal community engagement with light-glow reduction

, 2015
Artificial lighting is a significant threat to biodiversity. Although efforts to reduce lighting are crucial for species' conservation efforts, management is challenging because light at night is integral to modern society and light use is increasing ...
