This is a study on mice, which from my minimal research appear to be more wakeful at night. I wouldn't consider this study useful at all in determining how blue light affects humans' sleep.
- m11a 7y agoIt isn't meant to be conclusive. These kinds of studies usually are for indicating whether a certain idea is worth pursuing. It takes more money and time to do conclusive studies on humans with larger sample sizes. I wouldn't be immediately dismissive just because it was on mice. It shouldn't be used to definitively argue either way.
- OGWhales 7y agoGood point. I agree. I just felt the headline felt leading compared to the actual intention of the study.
- ping_pong 7y agoThe original study on blue lights was on a small number of humans, and the delta in sleep was less than 20 mins per night. So if this isn't a useful study, I would hardly consider the original blue light study useful or conclusive either. The only reason why you heard about the original study was because it made the headlines.
