Abstract
Exposure to light at appropriate times can improve alertness and mood; however, light can also interfere with sleep if exposure occurs before bedtime. Therefore, light management is important for sailor well-being and operational performance. One approach to administer light in field settings is to use per- sonal wearable devices. This pilot study assessed the challenges in using the blue-light blocking goggles (BLBG) and light emit- ting goggles (LEG) for crewmembers of a US Navy ship while underway.
