Artificial Light at Night Linked to Heart Structural Changes, Study Warns
A new study has found that prolonged exposure to artificial light at night can alter the structure and function of the heart. Researchers observed that increased nighttime light exposure raises the risk of heart failure and stroke. The study identified small but measurable changes in heart muscle thickness among those exposed to higher levels of nighttime light. While disrupted sleep partly explains these effects, scientists note that other contributing factors are also involved.
