Common bedroom light associated with changes in heart structure, new Tulane-led study finds
STUDY: A phone charging screen-up on the nightstand or a sliver of light under the bedroom door may be doing more than disturbing sleep.
Exposure to light while sleeping, even from a phone screen or light under a door, may be linked to changes in heart structure. A new study indicates that such light can disrupt sleep and potentially affect cardiovascular health. Researchers are investigating the long-term implications of this phenomenon.
- Light exposure during sleep, even from small sources like phone screens, may affect heart structure.
- Sources of light include phones charging screen-up and light seeping under bedroom doors.
- This light can do more than just disturb sleep; it may have physiological impacts.
