There are preliminary results showing that when the NICU dims it's lights during the day and goes even darker at night babies recover faster. 5 weeks faster on average. (That's from "Why We Sleep")



Sleep is the best recovery. If everybody got enough sleep there'd be fewer sick days, too.


Yeah the NICU for my second child had a sort of day night light cycle. It was pretty nice... for parents too ;)
