This study investigated whether, compared to a dim light condition (the control), exposure to long-wavelength (red) light delivered to closed eyelids during sleep (red light mask) and to eyes open upon waking (red light goggles) reduced sleep inertia %K sleep inertia %K cognitive performance %K alertness %K red light %K closed eyelids %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6506010/
