Light treatment for sleep disorders: consensus report. VI. Shift work.
Charmane I. Eastman,Ziad Boulos,Michael Terman,Scott S. Campbell,Derk-Jan Dijk,Alfred J. Lewy +5 more
TL;DR: The bright light studies support the idea that the control of light and dark can be used to overcome many of the problems of shift work, however, despite ongoing practical applications (such as at NASA), much basic research is still needed.

Light Treatment for Sleep Disorders: Consensus Report IV. Sleep Phase and Duration Disturbances
Michael Terman,Alfred J. Lewy,Derk-Jan Dijk,Ziad Boulos,Charmane I. Eastman,Scott S. Campbell +5 more
TL;DR: Exposure to light early or late in the subjective night has been used therapeutically to produce corrective phase delays or advances in both the sleep pattern and circadian rhythms.

Light treatment for sleep disorders: consensus report. V. Age-related disturbances.
Scott S. Campbell,Michael Terman,Alfred J. Lewy,Derk-Jan Dijk,Charmane I. Eastman,Ziad Boulos +5 more
TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that evening bright light exposure is beneficial in alleviating sleep maintenance insomnia in healthy elderly subjects and bright light treatment of sleep and behavioral disturbance in demented patients.

Circadian organization of food intake and meal patterns in the rat.
TL;DR: The results indicate that circadian rhythms of food intake are attributable to circadian oscillations in both meal parameters, and suggest a competitive relationship between circadian rhythms and the metabolic controls underlying the rat's meal pattern.

Light treatment for sleep disorders: consensus report. VII. Jet lag.
Ziad Boulos,Scott S. Campbell,Alfred J. Lewy,Michael Terman,Derk-Jan Dijk,Charmane I. Eastman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that exposure to bright light can, in principle, alleviate the symptoms of jet lag by accelerating circadian reentrainment to new time zones, but their applicability to the population at large remains uncertain.
