Abstract
Circadian disruption from electric light is associated with adverse health effects, particularly in shift workers.
- Exposure to electric light during both day and night may confuse the body's natural circadian rhythms.
- Circadian biology is fundamental to the functioning and adaptation of nearly all life forms.
- Individuals with nighttime work hours, such as shift workers, are particularly affected by circadian disruption.
- Research on shift workers is providing insights into the negative health impacts of disrupted circadian rhythms.
