ABSTRACT
Purpose:
Exposure to artificial light influences human performance, which is essential for maintaining healthy work and sleep. However, existing research has not explored the intrinsic links between sleep performance and human states over time under prebedtime light exposure interventions (LEIs).Methods:
To investigate the time-dependent effects of altered prebedtime light exposure, four LEI groupings (#L1 - #L4) and a Time factor (D8, D9, and D10) were chosen for sleep experiments in enclosed spaces. Forty-eight young adults recruited were available for data analysis. Subjective alertness (SA), negative affect (NA), subjective sleep, and objective sleep were measured via the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Next-day Self-assessment Sleep Quality, and joint assessment of wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries, respectively. Statistical analysis was used for the effects of light exposure on the human states (corresponding to the SA and NA) and sleep performance, while the process model helped construct the associations between the two.Results:
The statistical effects revealed that the Time had a significant main effect on subjective sleep and changes in prebedtime alertness; the LEI had a significant main effect only on sleep onset latency (SOL). After undergoing altered prebedtime light exposure, the mean SA increased at prebedtime of D9 (p = 0.022) and D10 (p = 0.044); No significant effect on the NA was observed; Mean subjective sleep had a significant increase from D8 to D10. Moreover, five actigraphy-estimated sleep parameters were interrelated. In light of this, a chained pathway relationship was identified. The SOL played a mediating predictor between prebedtime state and objective sleep, which was linked to the awakening state through subjective sleep.Conclusion:
Our study suggests that time-dependent effects of altered prebedtime light exposure on sleep performance are associated with human states at prebedtime and awakening, with implications for its prediction of sleep health.
