New paper out: The Role of Daylight for Humans

Human beings evolved under natural light/dark cycles. Artificial light exposure interacts and competes with this natural light/dark cycle. What are the consequences of our living conditions in industrialised urban areas with much less daylight (and more artificial light) on our health and wellbeing? The Daylight Academy paper “The Role of Daylight for Humans: Gaps in Current Knowledge” explores what is known and what still needs to be known about this issue. Crucial short and long-term objectives to fill these gaps are proposed.
