Homeostatic sleep regulation in the absence of the circadian sleep ‐regulating component: effect of short light–dark cycles on sleep–wake stages and slow waves
Aside from the homeostatic and circadian components, light has itself an important, direct as well as indirect role in sleep regulation. Light exerts indirect sleep effect by modulating the circadian rhythms. ... (Source: BMC Neuroscience)
