Data are presented as the mean, standard error (SE) and 95% confidence limits (95% clm). At baseline the PSQI was significantly higher for women than in men, thereafter the PSQI was similar for both genders. For females, a significant decrease was found from baseline to blue-enriched conditions, for the change to blue-deprived conditions we also found a decrease, but this did not reach statistical significance.
