Na obecnym etapie rozwoju technologicznego człowiek bezwiednie podlega zwiększonemu działaniu światła. Korzystanie ze sztucznego oświetlenia umożliwia bardzo intensywną aktywność w trakcie trwania całej doby, uelastycznienie czasu pracy i zmianę stylu życia. Ponadto używając wielu narzędzi, takich jak telefony komórkowe, komputery i telewizory, opartych o technologię LED, które emitują różne spektra światła, w tym duże "ilości" światła krótkofalowego, człowiek jest w stałym i bliskim kontakcie ze światłem często przez długi okres. Tematem artykułu jest pokazanie najważniejszych zagadnień dotyczących tego, jak tak częsta ekspozycja na działanie sztucznego światła generującego spektrum światła inne od spektrum światła naturalnego, wpływa na ludzkie zdrowie, w tym także na jakość snu, przyczyniając się do zjawiska zanieczyszczenia środowiska światłem. Opisane zostanie działanie światła krótkofalowego, które może zmieniać rytmy circadialne procesów biologicznych, wywołuje bezpośrednią reakcję niewzrokową i działa na takie procesy, jak synchronizacja rytmów okołodobowych, wydzielanie hormonów (np. melatoniny), redukcja wolnofalowej aktywności podczas snu, ekspresja genów, regulacja temperatury ciała, a także poprawa czujności i funkcji poznawczych.

At the present stage of technological growth, humans are unknowingly affected by the ever-growing influence of artificial light. The use of artificial light gives people an opportunity to be intensely active throughout a 24 hour cycle, it also brings about the flexibility of working hours and changes in lifestyle. Moreover, various devices (mobile phones, computers, TV sets etc.) based on LED technology which emit different light spectra, including lots of short-wavelength-light, are more and more often used nowadays. Using them keeps people in continuous contact with a light source, often for long periods of time. The paper refers to the issue of how human health, including sleep quality, is influenced by daily and frequent exposition to artificial light generated by light spectra different from the natural ones. And attempts to explain how this exposition may contribute to the light pollution. The main theme of this article is to answer the question of how light affects physiological functions around the full visible spectrum and throughout a 24 hour cycle. It is now known that short-wavelength light, having the ability to change circadian rhythms, elicits direct non-visual response and influences such physiological processes as circadian rshythm synchronization, hormones suppression (e.g. melatonin secretion), reduction of slow wave activity during sleep, genes expression, body temperature regulation. According to the latest data, short-wavelength light also enhances alertness and improves cognitive functions.
