đđĄ Is Your Nightlight Secretly Sabotaging Your Heart?
Okay, real talk: we all love a cozy bedtime vibe. Maybe itâs a soft nightlight, the glow of your salt lamp, or that TV show you âaccidentallyâ fall asleep to every night. But a new study out of the U.K. just dropped a truth bombâand itâs kinda scary.
Researchers tracked 90,000 adults (yep, thatâs a lot of people) using wrist sensors to measure how much light was in their bedrooms while they slept. And hereâs the kicker: the brighter the room, the higher the risk of a heart attack. đł
People who slept in total darkness had the lowest risk. But those in moderately lit roomsâthink nightlights or a glowing screenâhad a 20% higher chance of heart issues. And if your room was really bright? That risk jumped to 47%. Yikes.
Before you panic and toss your kidâs nightlight, donât worryâthis study focused on adults over 40, with an average age of 62. So itâs not about the little ones. But if youâre creeping toward that age bracket (hi, fellow millennials đ), it might be time to rethink your sleep setup.
So whatâs the takeaway? Darkness = heart-friendly. Maybe itâs time to hit that âoffâ switch and embrace the blackout curtains. Your heart might just thank you.
