Our discussion points included the answers to the following questions.
- How does light affect sleep quality?
- What are the potential consequences of disrupted light exposure patterns?
- What research projects is Dr. Huiberts working on and what are her latest findings especially as it relates to the Covid-19 situation?
- What are Dr. Huiberts tips and tricks on how we can improve our sleep and daytime vitality (and performance) by means of light exposure patterns?
