What are the Benefits of Controlled Light Exposure?
Controlled light exposure in the NICU can have numerous benefits: - Improved Sleep: Proper light management can help newborns establish normal sleep patterns, which are crucial for growth and development. - Reduced Stress: Lower light levels can decrease stress and agitation in preterm infants. - Enhanced Development: Mimicking natural light cycles can support the development of the visual system and other physiological functions. - Better Growth: Adequate sleep and reduced stress can contribute to better weight gain and overall growth.
