They exposed to DAYLIGHT from 9 to 10 a.m. and from 4 to 5 p.m. for 6 wk. The level of MELATONIN in the morning and at night was measured. General HEALTH of all participants was evaluated using General HEALTH Questionnaire (GHQ) as well.Results: DAYLIGHT exposure significantly affected morning MELATONIN from 25.39 pg/ml to 59.77 pg/ml (P=0.001) and night MELATONIN were changed from 40.30pg/ml to 34.41pg/ml (P=0.081). Mean score of general HEALTH changed 36.31 to 29.89 (P=0.003). Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) showed increase sleepi-ness and decrease alertness from 3: 00 to 7: 00 a.m. Sleepiness decreased and alertness increased during 1: 00 p.m. and 20: 00 p.m.Conclusions: DAYLIGHT exposure could delay sleep phase and correction of CIRCADIAN RHYTHM in ELDERLY. Anxiety and insomnia could be improved with DAYLIGHT exposure.
