Light, whether daylight, moonlight, or produced via some sort of technology, has a significant effect on our mental and physical wellbeing, how we think and behave.

Figueiro and Pedler review important issues related to circadian lighting.
Recently completed research indicates that experiencing higher levels of light at night may not be healthy for pregnant people.
