Do you like to sleep with a nightlight? Maybe you leave the television on while you sleep? A new study suggests that leaving the light on while you sleep is bad for your body.
According to a press release from the school, scientists have discovered that light can affect cardiovascular function while you sleep and that it can increase the risk of diabetes when you wake up. It puts you at risk for higher blood pressure and even diabetes because of light.
The results of the study show that exposure to moderate room lighting during sleep can affect cardiovascular regulation, which is a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
It is important for people to avoid or minimize the amount of light exposure during sleep.
When we get exposed to sunlight and our sympathetic nervous system is activated, our heart rate goes up in the morning. When we are exposed to light during sleep, the same effect can occur.
Even though you are asleep, your nervous system is active. It's bad, because your heart rate and other cardiovascular parameters are lower at night.
The study found that people who are exposed to light while they sleep can show signs of resistance to the drug. This can result in your body not being able to useglucose in your bloodstream for energy, which can lead toType 2 diabetes over time.
If you go to sleep at night, be sure to turn off the lights and television. Invest in a sleep mask. Your body will thank you for it.
The blinds should be closed during sleep to protect your health.
A study found that human brains can solve hard problems before falling asleep.
