Light is not your friend during the night. We'd be wise to shut it out.

Researchers have found sleeping in a moderately lit room can potentially harm a person’s cardiometabolic health. The study saw one night of sleep in a room with moderate light increased nighttime heart rates and spiked insulin resistance in the morning.

A small study finds that even a small amount of nighttime light during sleep can compromise heart health and increase insulin resistance.

Turning off all lights and drawing the curtains before hitting the bed may help protect your health, according to a recent study out of Northwestern University

Before going to bed, close the blinds, draw the curtains, and turn out all the lights. Even modest ambient brightness during nighttime sleep, as compared to sleeping in a poorly lit room, affects cardiovascular performance and raises insulin resistance the next morning, according to new Northwestern Medicine research

Just one night of moderate light exposure during sleep can increase nighttime heart rate and increased insulin resistance the next morning in healthy adults, according to a new study from Northwestern University. Increased insulin resistance plays a key role in the diagnosis of type II diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases.

Close the blinds, draw the curtains and turn off all the lights before bed: Exposure to even moderate ambient lighting during nighttime sleep, compared to sleeping in a dimly lit room, harms your cardiovascular function during sleep and increases your insulin resistance the following morning, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study published in PNAS.
