In Reply.— Sheldon and Bell express concern for the effect of uncycled nursery light on sleep state and biorhythms in infants. Their concerns seem well founded. A variety of evidence suggests that the effect of light exposure in the intensive care nursery goes beyond the potential for retinal damage. For example, we found differences in sleep state for infants exposed to bright v dim ambient nursery light.1 Bright light was associated with significantly greater amounts of active-REM sleep.
