Access to Daylight at Home Improves Circadian Alignment, Sleep, and Mental Health in Healthy Adults
As the primary environmental cue for the body's master biological clock, light-dark patterns are key for circadian alignment and are ultimately fundamental to multiple dimensions of health including sleep and mental health. Although daylight provides the proper qualities of light for promoting circadian alignment, our modern indoor lifestyles offer fewer opportunities for adequate daylight exposure. This field study explores how increasing circad…
Exploring the Relationship between Window View Quantity, Quality, and Ratings of Care in the Hospital
Hospital ratings reflect patient satisfaction, consumer perception of care, and create the context for quality improvement in healthcare settings. Despite an abundance of studies on the health benefits of the presence and content of window views, there is a gap in research examining how these features may impact patient satisfaction and consumer perceptions of the quality of care received. A quantitative exploratory study collected data from 652 …
The Impact of Optimized Daylight and Views on the Sleep Duration and Cognitive Performance of Office Workers
A growing awareness has recently emerged on the health benefits of exposure to daylight and views. Daylight exposure is linked to circadian rhythm regulation, which can have significant impacts on sleep quality and cognitive function. Views of nature have also been shown to impact emotional affect and performance. This study explores the impact of optimized daylight and views on the sleep and cognitive performance of office workers. Thirty knowle…
Lead in Air in Bangladesh
Previous evaluations of a birth cohort in the Munshiganj District of Bangladesh had found that over 85% of 397 children aged 2−3 years had blood lead concentrations above the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's reference level of 5 μg/dL. Studies in urban areas of Bangladesh have found elevated levels of lead in the air due to industries and remaining contamination from the historic use of leaded gasoline. Sources of lead i…
Carbon reductions and health co-benefits from US residential energy efficiency measures
The United States (US) Clean Power Plan established state-specific carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) emissions reduction goals for fossil fuel-fired electricity generating units (EGUs). States may achieve these goals through multiple mechanisms, including measures that can achieve equivalent CO _2 reductions such as residential energy efficiency, which will have important co-benefits. Here, we develop state-resolution simulations of the economic, health, a…
