Chronobiology at the 3rd Annual Meeting of the APSS was, no doubt in the “Sign of Light”. Chronobiological research has certainly moved from DD to BL (bright light). Several factors contributed to the great interest and excitement regarding the effects of light on human beings. The Science publication of Czeisler et al., “Bright light induction of strong (type 0) resetting of the human circadian pacemaker”, which attracted the attention of the media, coincided with the scheduled APSS meeting. Also, a very well-attended one-day workshop in Bethesda, Maryland, on the biologic effects of light was organized by the Society for Light Therapy and Biological Rhythms the day before, and succeeded in raising interest and excitement over the subject. The presentations on the biologic effects of light on the circadian system focused on the phase resetting-response to light of the human circadian system, and on the practical implications of this resetting on seasonal affective disorders (SAD), in sleep-phase-delay an...
