Outline of Final Research Achievements

The circadian rhythms of school-age children were more susceptible to the effects of blue-enriched white light before going to bed than adults. In addition, the sleep of school-age children with lower age had a strong connection with the biological clock and was more susceptible to the use of media at bedtime. The circadian rhythm of children who participated in the camp which used artificial lighting as little as possible tended to be synchronized with the natural light and dark cycle. In addition, short sleep time at school age and late bedtime tended to be associated with the onset of menarche.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本人の子どもの睡眠時間は世界的に短く、睡眠が夜型化している。夜の光は体内時計に作用し睡眠の夜型化を引き起こす要因となるが、子どもで夜の光の影響を調べた研究は少ない。本研究では、学童期の子どもが大人に比べて夜の光の影響を受けやすいことを光の波長特性も含めて明らかにし、人工照明に頼らないキャンプ時の生体リズムの特徴を明らかにし、さらに学童期の夜型の睡眠と性成熟の関連も明らかにした。現代社会の子どもの抱える問題を学術的に明らかにした貴重な成果と言える。
