The investigators will examine the effects of dynamic light therapy on circadian rhythms in delirious intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), they will investigate the effects of a specific light algorithm on rhythms of serum melatonin, clock gene expression, the proteome, and metabolome, compared to standard hospital lighting, supported by the data science algorithms to improve vital-based algorithms with light interventions.
