No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Human centric lighting (HCL) is a technology that supports the body's circadian rhythm, as it can stimulate the sleep triggering hormone, melatonin, to improve sleep hygiene over standard lighting (SL), and promote recuperative sleep for a timely return-to-duty. In intensive care units, exposure to HCL has improved sleep measures. However, the effect in the medical surgical (MS) environment is unknown. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of study procedures in MS setting and conduct a preliminary evaluation of the effect of light on inpatient sleep. Recruitment started November 2020 through April 2021. Data analysis is pending.
