The Impact of Winter Urban Light on Night-Time Sleep Background Light and darkness are the primary environmental factors regulating human circadian rhythms. In natural environments, humans are exposed to light levels ranging from 3,000 lux (cloudy winter sky) to 100,000 lux (clear sky). However, in modern urban environments, especially during winte...
