Moonlight and common sleep risks
The recent study published in the European Heart Journal examined the impact of exposure to low levels of light during sleep—equivalent to low-brightness phone screen light or moonlight—on the structure and function of the heart. The study involved 11,071 individuals who wore light measurement devices during their sleep for a week. It found that continuous exposure to light at night increases the thickness of the left ventricular wall and reduces the size of the ventricle, with indicators suggesting a decline in the heart's ability to flex during heartbeat. The researchers explained that these changes, referred to as "heart remodeling," could over time lead to weakened heart muscle. They emphasized that making the bedroom as dark as possible may help prevent heart disease, recommending the use of blackout curtains, warm lighting, and reducing light pollution during the night.
