They completed afour-day trial 23 dim light conditions, which involvedexposure to less than 20 lux during 16 hours 24 and less than three lux duringeight hours of sleep. On day three they were exposed to three hours of 260 lux,blue-enriched light starting 10.5 hours after waking up, and the effects werecompared with dim light exposure on day two.Ms Cheung said more research is needed todetermine the 25 of action involved in the relationshipbetween light exposure, hunger and metabolism.
