Study Finds Risks of Sleeping in Light
A recent study has shown that exposure to light during sleep is linked to changes in heart structure and function, including approximately a 1.5% increase in the thickness of the left ventricular walls, a 2.4% rise in its muscle mass, and a slight decrease in heart muscle movements. The study also associated nighttime light exposure with a 29% higher risk of heart failure, a 24% increased risk of heart attacks, and a 33% higher risk of stroke. The researchers recommended reducing light exposure during sleep by using blackout curtains and avoiding electronic devices at night to minimize the impact of light on heart health.
