Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Light 1

Light 1 will have an altered color composition as compared with a standard LED bulb.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Light - alternate

Intervention Type DEVICE

Light will be given during the night to determine its effects on melatonin suppression. This light will be an LED with an altered spectral distribution (different color)

Light 2

Light 2 will be a standard LED bulb.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Light - standard

Intervention Type DEVICE

Light will be given during the night to determine its effects on melatonin suppression. This light will be an LED with standard spectral distribution
