Outdoor light linked with teens’ sleep and mental health

Large-scale study of U.S. teens shows associations between outdoor, artificial light at night and health outcomes
Research shows that adolescents who live in areas that have high levels of artificial light at night tend to get less sleep and are more likely to have a mood disorder relative to teens who live in areas with low levels of night-time light. The research was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health, and is published in JAMA Psychiatry.
