Abstract in brief

  • Human circadian rhythms in polar regions are affected by the lack of natural sunlight during winter and continuous daylight in summer, with light being crucial for maintaining a 24-hour cycle.
  • Artificial light, especially controlled exposure like bright white light or a skeleton photoperiod, can help restore normal circadian timing and counteract delays experienced in winter.
  • Health issues such as sleep problems and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are concerns in polar environments, but interventions like increased light exposure and blue-enriched light have shown potential benefits for sleep and circadian alignment.

People seem surprised when I say that the polar night isn't constant darkness, so I took my camera out on a little pre-Xmas run. #PolarNight #Tromsø #scicomm https://t.co/QQ7e4f1mOa
