This International Application claims priority from a Patent application filed in India having Patent Application No. 202021048013, filed on November 03, 2020, and titled “AN ILLUMINATION DEVICE FOR ALLIGNMENT OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM AND A METHOD TO OPERATE THE SAME”.
FIELD OF INVENTION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to lighting system to achieve human centric vision light and more particularly to an illumination device for alignment of circadian rhythm and a method to operate the same.
BACKGROUND
The impact of chronic sleep disruption and reduced sleep on the promotion and interaction of physiological stress via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HP A). Also, aligning the pineal gland for melatonin secretions and sympatho-adreno-medullary (SAM) axes and psychosocial stress by managing the serotonin and dopamine responsible for wellbeing parameters from our brains, which are somewhere related to the chemical and electrical reactions thru synaptic. Whereby sleep loss and fatigue result in an imbalance between the demands placed upon an individual and an inability of the individual to manage these demands. Individual’s daily circadian rhythms and sleep/wake cycle allows the everyone to function optimally in a dynamic world, adjusting our biology to the demands imposed by the day/night cycle. Ultimately, the combined and interlocking effects of physiological and psychosocial stress lead to emotional, cognitive and physiological pathologies.
Conventionally, efforts made to address this problem fall well short of the goal of a practical, broadly applicable, and effective therapy. For example, pharmacologic treatments of sleepiness and daytime sleep disturbance in shift workers are now available, but there are obvious concerns about the widespread chronic utilization of these medications in the broad shift work population. Moreover, pharmacological treatments of
sleep disturbance and sleepiness do not alter the underlying mismatch between the internal circadian timing system and the shift schedule. However, there is always a need for a non- invasive technique to overcome such issues exhibit with therapies.
With advancement in technology, some of the lighting systems has been introduced to address the aforementioned issues. Such available circadian lighting systems produce a “colder” bluish light during the day to initiate greater circadian stimulation and a “warmer” reddish light during the evening, to diminish said stimulation. The bluish light is well known to be more effective at suppressing melatonin. However, such available lighting systems are perceivably bluer during the day and perceivably redder in the evening such that there is a prominent and noticeable color shift and as well an overall perceived brightness shift during the operation time. This is perhaps one of the reasons why many commercially available circadian lighting systems are sold as individual units such that they may be independently switched on and off as needed to produce the desired biological/physiological benefit, much like how one switches on a nightlight only in the evening. The prominent color shift makes state-of-the-art circadian lighting systems less suitable for general purpose lighting that requires good color rendering for a task performed thereunder. Further it may be annoying or bothersome due to the visible color shifting, especially for computer monitors and other personal electronic devices where background lighting surrounding the visual task is prominent.
Hence, there is a need for an improved lighting system for alignment of circadian rhythm to address the aforementioned issue(s).
