Exposure to light exceeding 3 lux was found to weaken the structure and function of the left ventricle and significantly increase the incidence and mortality rates of cardiovascular disease after 10 years. This suggests that blocking lighting during nighttime hours is essential for maintaining heart health.
Greater exposure to light at night is associated with changes in the structure and function of the heart that can occur long before cardiovascular symptoms appear.
New Orleans – Even some brightness in the bedroom could damage heart health in the long term. The results of a cohort study in the European Heart Journal (2026; DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehag563) suggest this. Thus, already 3 lux, which corresponds to the dusk shortly after the sunset of the sun, were in an analysis of the UK Biobank with...
San Francisco: A study in the United States revealed that excessive exposure to lighting during night hours affected the shape and functions of the heart. The study conducted by a joint team of Tollan and Harvard universities and the Louisiana State Health Department in the United States included more than 11,000 adults, who were required to wear a seven-way wristwire sensor.
