Bright Days Buffer Nighttime Light: Daytime Illumination Shapes Sex Differences in Sleep and Circadian Regulation

Yumeng Wang, Caihan Tony Chen, Tom Deboer, Gene D. Block, Ketema N. Paul, Christopher Scott Colwell

This study shows that daytime light intensity influences sex differences in sleep and circadian regulation in mice, with brighter light reducing vulnerability to nighttime light.

Dissociating the Effects of Light at Night from Circadian Misalignment in a Neurodevelopmental Disorder Mouse Model Using Ultradian Light-Dark Cycles.

Sophia Anne Marie B. Villanueva, Huei Bin Wang, Kyle Nguyen-Ngo, Caihan Tony Chen, Gemma Stark, Gene D. Block, Cristina Antonella Ghiani, Christopher Scott Colwell

This study shows that adverse effects of nighttime light in a neurodevelopmental disorder mouse model depend on circadian disruption, not light exposure alone.
