Hello,
I am doing my master thesis on the effect of blue light on the cognitive performance and/or awareness especially in the hospital sector for the staff (nurses, doctors) on the call during the night.
I know that it is difficult to find literature on this subject because it is kind of innovative but if anyone has something to suggest, I would be thankful !
Thank you !
Sophie,
On 2012, I conducted a study on the saxe blue, pink, and off-white color used in healthcare interior facility. Not quite about blue light.. but hope this helps.

Abstract
This study investigated human impression of favorability and gender sensitivity response on color fabrics for comfort in health care interior facility. Three groups of color fabric; Pink (10), Saxe Blue (10) and White (10), total of 30 different stimuli were selected. 12 subjects evaluated the stimuli with 29 adjective-pair words that meet comfortability of psychological term of healing. The obtained data was analyzed in few steps; favorability rating, impression and gender sensitivity response by using factor analysis and semantic differential method. The findings support previous medical study that warm color physiologically induces more arousal, a cool color stimulates cooling and calming effect, and a plain of White appear to give only a little effect on relaxation. Women were more sensitive in perceiving bright-dark and warm-cool of a color than Men. This finding may contribute to gain applicable knowledge in interior design application in regard of applying therapeutic environments.
Best,
