[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3152, member: 1"] [HEADING=2][URL='https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/04/01/1089997121/light-disrupts-sleep']Sleeping with even a little bit of light isn't good for your health, study shows - NPR[/URL][/HEADING] Turning off the lights and closing the curtains isn't exactly a catchy, new sleep hygiene hack, but this common sense advice is gaining even more scientific credibility. Many Americans sleep in a room that's punctuated with some form of artificial light — whether it's coming from a TV, a jumble of electronics or an intrusive streetlight. New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a moderate amount of light may have adverse effects on cardiovascular and metabolic health. "I was surprised that even this fairly, I would say, small amount of light just getting through the eyes to the brain still had such notable effect," says [URL='https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=13785']Dr. Phyllis Zee[/URL], senior author of the new study and director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine at Northwestern University.
