Do You Sleep With Any Lights On?
Sleeping With The Lights On Can Damage Your Health!
I’ve been sleeping with the TV blaring all night long since I was a teenager. Over the last few years, I got away from that finding that even with the sound off, the flashes of light, even when my eyes are closed, can be quite distracting. I’ve always heard a “cool, dark” room was best for sleep. The below story and video seem to bear that out. I’m anxious to see if our listeners have had similar issues.
Want a good night’s sleep? Keep the lights off – ALL of them. A recent sleep study conducted by Northwestern University found that sleeping with a ‘moderate’ amount of light in the room affected heart rate and metabolism – even with subjects who felt they got a good night’s sleep. They theorize that even a small amount of light can put humans or animals into a ‘pro-inflammatory state’ during sleep. Would you rate your sleep habits as good or bad? Do you try to keep a consistent bedtime?
