STUDY OBJECTIVES: Light information crucially influences the sleep initiation and continuity. The purpose of this study was to compare daily light exposure between patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and non-PD older adults and evaluate the association of daily light exposure with objective sleep measures in patients with PD.

METHODS: In this cross-sectional study of 189 outpatients with PD and 1101 community dwelling older adults (controls), daily light exposure was measured using wrist light meters during the daytime and light meters set in the bedrooms during the nighttime, and objective sleep quality was measured by wrist actigraphy.

RESULTS: The median duration of exposure to ≥1000 lux light was significantly shorter in patients with PD than in controls. The median nighttime light intensity was higher in patients with PD than in controls. Among patients with PD, multivariable analysis suggested that the highest quartile of exposure to ≥1000 lux light during the daytime was linked to significantly higher sleep efficiency by 8.0% and shorter wake after sleep onset (WASO) by 36.9 min than the lowest quartile. During the nighttime, the highest quartile of mean light intensity had significantly lower sleep efficiency by 6.8%, longer WASO by 24.1 min, longer sleep onset latency, and higher fragmentation index, than the lowest quartile. Importantly, daytime and nighttime light levels were independently associated with objective sleep measures.

CONCLUSION: The present study illustrated that greater daytime light exposure and lower nighttime light exposure are significantly associated with better objective sleep measures in patients with PD.
