Bright light exposure reduces negative affect and modulates EEG activity in sleep-deprived and well-rested adolescents
These results suggest that bright light may acutely enhance emotional state, cognitive performance, and cortical arousal in adolescents. The link between beta activity and affective improvement under sleep deprivation suggests a potential mechanism by which light supports emotional regulation.
