Summary

This study looks at whether filtering out blue light at night in hospital rooms can reduce inflammation, protect thinking skills, and improve mood and sleep in 80 adults after elective heart surgery. Participants will have their blood tested for signs of inflammation and heart stress, and complete surveys and thinking tests. The goal is to see if a simple, low-cost change to hospital lighting can lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
