“…The therapeutic outcomes of exposure to blue light were found to be superior to those of red light;87,88 blue-enriched LED light was superior to placebo,40 but similar to blue light 89. In studies comparing the therapeutic outcomes after exposure to low-intensity narrow-band blue light with that of bright white light, no differences were found in the treatment effects in SAD90 or subsyndromal SAD (winter blues) 60. In a recent study comparing the therapeutic results after exposure to blue light (~465 nm) vs exposure to blue-free light (595–612 nm) no difference in treatment outcome was found 91.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that emotion can be affected by environmental contexts [1,14], including luminous, thermal, and acoustic factors. In terms of the luminous environment, some studies have found that increasing indoor illumination sufficiently can help treat seasonal affective disorder [15]. On the other hand, a cold or hot environment can elicit negative emotions, which are distracting and reduce performance efficiency [16].…”

“…Seasonality is an important factor in the increase or decrease of physical activity. The interaction between seasons and human health is a manifestation of the solar cycle [7]. Accordingly, the seasonal environment was influential in birth rate and sperm count, pneumonia, bronchitis, and influenza outbreaks.…”
