Thinking on related issues about biorhythm synchronization and indoor environment

摘要

With the acceleration of modern lifestyles increasingly featuring full-time life or work activities and responsibilities brought by scientific and technological progress, humans have gradually neglected their interdependence with nature, spending most of their time living and working in artificial environments. Research has shown that when lifestyle and the biological clock deviate, the risk of various diseases rises. This has increased attention towards biorhythm disorders caused by lack of sunlight or inappropriate artificial lighting at night. In this paper, we present a discussion on the literature concerning the indoor environment characteristics required to promote biorhythm synchronization, with emphasis on biorhythm disorders caused by illumination conditions in indoor environments. On this basis, we try to present a method for the evaluation of the relationship between biorhythm synchronization and indoor environments. Finally, we present a case study applying this evaluation method.
