Associations of light exposure patterns with sleep among <scp>Dutch</scp> children: The <scp>ABCD</scp> cohort study

Summary Light exposure affects the circadian system and consequently can affect sleep quality. Only few studies examined this relationship in children. We evaluated associations between light exposure patterns and sleep metrics in children.
