时间窗: 4 hours of light exposure.
Melatonin will be assessed using concentrations in saliva or blood. AUC will be calculated using melatonin concentrations during the Outcome Measure Time Frame. (1) for Lighting1 and Lighting2, the AUC for night 1; (2) for Lighting3 and Lighting4, the AUC for Night 2
次要结局
- Uterine Contractions(4 hours of light exposure)
