Abstract
Nocturnal core temperature fall was significantly inhibited by green, blue, and red light exposure with 1,0001x from 21:00 h to 02:00 h. The core temperature in red became identical from that in control during the following sleep period, but not in green and blue. These findings are discussed in terms of urinary melatonin behavior.
