Bright Morning Light Enhances Parasympathetic Activity at Night: A Pilot Study of Older People with Dementia, without a Pacemaker

2023-01-03

Abstract excerpt

Bright morning light (BML) entrains the body clock, modulates circadian rhythm, and improves sleep-wake disturbances. However, its impact on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) at night remains unclear. Hence, we investigated the effects of BML exposure on activities of the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) at night. This non-randomized controlled pilot study included partic...
