Randomized trial of polychromatic blue-enriched light for circadian phase shifting, melatonin suppression, and alerting responses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Wavelength comparisons have indicated that circadian phase-shifting and enhancement of subjective and EEG-correlates of alertness have a higher sensitivity to short wavelength visible light.

Melatonin

open access: yesDialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2002
Melatonin (MEL) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland deep within the brain in response to photoperiodic cues relayed from the retina via an endogenous circadian oscillator within the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus. The circadian rhythm of melatonin production and release, characterized by nocturnal activity and daytime

Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders in the Hand Surgery Patient. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Despite posing a significant public health threat, sleep disorders remain poorly understood and often underdiagnosed and mismanaged. Although sleep disorders are seemingly unrelated, hand surgeons should be mindful of these because numerous conditions of
