"To be exposed to light" is because it is known that the sleep cycle is delayed.

The experiment was conducted over 49 days, and as a result, the group who drank caffeine said the biological clock was delayed about 40 minutes (it shifted behind). By the way, the biological clock of the person who took the light shifted by a factor of 80, and a person who received both caffeine and light 105 minutes shifted. Dr. Timothy Roehrs who studies sleep medicine at Henry Ford Hospital explains this phenomenon, "For those who are sleeping at 11 o'clock, bedtime will be midnight."
