New Orleans, USA, who led the research, said in a press release. \u201cThis is where the structure and function of the heart changes and we typically see it in response to chronic stress or injury to the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While that\u2019s how the human body adapts to that stress, \u201cultimately it weakens the heart and can lead to heart failure,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, keeping bedrooms as dark as possible \u201cshould be considered as one of the potential strategies for preventing heart disease by clinicians and policy makers,\u201d Qi said. <\/p>\n<p>The study included 11,071 people who were exposed to different levels of light overnight for a week, from near total darkness to varying levels of light up to light equivalent to a phone screen at low brightness on light coming through a cracked door. <\/p>\n<p>Three years later, participants were given a cardiovascular magnetic resonance scan to examine any potential changes to the structure and function of their hearts. <\/p>\n<p>The results showed that participants who were exposed to the highest levels of nighttime light saw the walls of the left chamber of their heart thicken, reducing the space inside the ventricle. There were also signs that the heart\u2019s ability to flex during a heartbeat was reduced \u2014 an early indication of heart dysfunction. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDarkness deserves recognition as a vital sign, as essential to cardiovascular health as blood pressure control and clean air,\u201d an accompanying editorial professor, Thomas Mu\u0308nzel, from University Medical Center Mainz, Germany and colleagues said. <\/p>\n<p>They turned to clinicians, urging them to ask about sleep environment: \u201chow dark the bedroom is, whether the patient works night shifts, and how much screen use occurs after sunset,\u201d they said, advising using blackout curtains, warm-coloured bedside lighting, and covering the small standby LEDs on household electronics. <\/p>\n<p>Municipalities also have a role to play, with light pollution being \u201cone of the few environmental hazards that cities can control directly and affordably,\u201d they said, listing shielded fixtures, warm-spectrum bulbs, and dimming or motion-activated streetlights as \u201cenergy-efficient, and climate-friendly\u201d ways to reduce light exposure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2924700-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2924700\" data-cid=\"9908885\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2924700-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/90\/88\/85\/480x270_cmsv2_90e5cb5e-3e12-5854-b01d-28c97ffe809a-9908885.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Caring for others without self-love won\u2019t do as much good.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Wanna thrive?

There were also signs that the heart\u2019s ability to flex during a heartbeat was reduced \u2014 an early indication of heart dysfunction.\u00a0\u201cDarkness deserves recognition as a vital sign, as essential to cardiovascular health as blood pressure control and clean air,\u201d an accompanying editorial professor, Thomas Mu\u0308nzel, from University Medical Center Mainz, Germany and colleagues said.\u00a0They turned to clinicians, urging them to ask about sleep environment: \u201chow dark the bedroom is, whether the patient works night shifts, and how much screen use occurs after sunset,\u201d they said, advising using blackout curtains, warm-coloured bedside lighting, and covering the small standby LEDs on household electronics.\u00a0\u00a0Municipalities also have a role to play, with light pollution being \u201cone of the few environmental hazards that cities can control directly and affordably,\u201d they said, listing shielded fixtures, warm-spectrum bulbs, and dimming or motion-activated streetlights as \u201cenergy-efficient, and climate-friendly\u201d ways to reduce light exposure.\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/09\/11\/moonlight-phone-screens-and-standby-leds-is-your-bedroom-too-bright&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/90\/90\/88\/1200x675_cmsv2_0e7e98ba-fe54-53bf-9577-83a7a6f34e1a-9909088.jpg&#8221;] Business Azerbaijan\u2019s state oil fund helps launch China-ASEAN investment council Business 50 CEOs and investors urge Brussels not to dilute the EU Inc law Europe Today Military force &#8216;not enough&#8217; to defeat terrorism, former US envoy says Culture news Are you smarter than a 15-year-old?
