The street lights in the Paignton area were the yellow sodium type; those near Totnes were white (or close to white).  Travelling in the family Austin Ten, I would cover my eyes from the yellow lights because they made me feel sick, almost to the point of vomiting.  Once we were under the white lights, I would come out from under the car rug.  This happened as a matter of course.   For some reason - either the colour itself, or the frequency of the light - my brain was affected by the sodium lights.  A few years later I was on holiday in Bournemouth, where the street lights were a bluish white - which I found very restful.   I had no ill effects from the one nMRI scan I have had; and that was a brain scan.</p></blockquote><p></p>
