Festive lighting can have unexpected effects on health, and American psychologist Catherine Hall has warned that blue light from fairy lights suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating sleep.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to New York Post.
Blue light from LEDs appears to boost alertness, which is good during the day, but bad before bed. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to such lighting can disrupt biological rhythms, causing insomnia and reducing sleep quality. . To avoid negative effects, Hall recommends:
- turn off the garlands 2-3 hours before bed;
- use lamps with warm light ( red or white with a yellow undertone);
- avoid flickering lighting, as it stimulates visual activity and makes it difficult to relax.
In addition, it is recommended to pay attention to the general atmosphere in the bedroom . For example, thick curtains or sleep masks can help minimize the impact of external light.
Following these simple recommendations will help improve the quality of your sleep, maintain a festive mood, and avoid possible health problems in the future.
In addition, scientists have named the real date of Christmas.
