This is alarming!
A new study has found that sleeping with the TV or lights on may cause women to gain weight!
The study – published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, analyzed 43,722 women and found that sleeping with an artificial light on at night was “significantly associated with increased risk of weight gain and obesity, especially in women who had a light or a television on in the room while sleeping.” In the course of six years, some women gained 11 pounds, compared to those who did not sleep with any light on at night.
Those who slept with a light in the room or a TV also had a 10% or more increase in BMI, and were more likely to be overweight or obese.
