Page Contents: Our hunter–gatherer ancestors didn’t have LED lights, iPads, or street lights ablaze all night. Instead, they were dependent on the sun, the moon, and fire for light. Consistent light cycles ensured that circadian rhythms, moods, and hormones were in check. But today, it’s a different story.

Artificial light at the wrong times creates a mismatch between our genes and the environment, with potentially dire health outcomes. Light pollution has an impact on your sleep and your overall health. Check out this article to find out how to reduce your exposure to light pollution at home...
