Abstract
The revised model shows on average 1.4 times lower prediction error for circadian phase resetting compared to the previous model.
- Incorporating melanopic irradiance improves the accuracy of predicting circadian phase resetting, melatonin suppression, and subjective sleepiness.
- The model was tested against data from 14 experimental studies with 26 data sets across various spectral light profiles.
- Melatonin suppression was recalibrated to reflect dose-response data for both monochromatic and polychromatic light sources.
- A new term was added to account for the direct alerting effects of light on subjective sleepiness, responding to light changes over time.
- The revised model could explain the majority of observations related to light's wavelength-dependent effects.
