| Resumo |
Sleepiness remains a primary cause of road crashes, the major cause of death in young adults. Light is known to produce a direct alerting effect, but little is known about its effects on sleepy drivers. This study aimed to compare the effect of blue-green light and caffeine on young drivers’ cognitive performance after chronic-partial sleep loss. |
