In a Harvard Medical School study, people in a dimly lit room made the sleep hormone melatonin 2 hours before bedtime, while those in a brightly lit room didn’t make melatonin until 23 minutes before bedtime.
Other research has linked low melatonin levels to increased risk of hypertension, breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes, so this simple switch could make a big difference.
