Source details checked refers to publication information or an official source page. See the record’s limitations for incomplete extraction and the method for how to read the labels.
What the source reports
Short-wavelength light produced a significantly greater alerting response and raised core body temperature and heart rate.
Design questions and applications
Limit short-wavelength light in the evening.
Field
Light and changed state
