Sleeping With Lights On May Increase Risk For Obesity In Women, Study Suggests

reports “at the start of the study, women were typically overweight but not yet obese, according to their body mass index (BMI),” but “after almost six years of follow-up, women who slept with a television or light on in the room were 22 percent more likely to be overweight and 33 percent more likely to be obese than women who slept in total darkness without even a nightlight or the glow from an alarm clock.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-obesity-sleep/sleeping-with-lights-or-tv-on-tied-to-obesity-idUSKCN1TB1YB
