Sleeping with the Lights Night Lights Disturb Biological Clock

the person who likes to work late at night with lights still burning can cause havoc to the body's biological clock.

Australian scientists have found that sleeping late after a night lights can cause the body's biological clock or circadian rhythms of the body become chaotic, making it difficult to compensate for job activities that start from 09:00 until 17:00.

"People love staying up often find it hard to sleep and not feeling refreshed the next day. The effect is the same as jet lag," says Professor Helen Burgess of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago as quoted from NineMSN, Sunday (10/30/2011).

Prof. Burgess conducted a study on 10 people. The participants were initially asked to research sleep at 22:00 and woke up at 7:00 for a week. Once awake, they were asked to go outside the house for 10 minutes to receive sunlight.

Participants were then asked to raise his sleep until around 01:00 and wake up at 7:00 for a week so feel tired during the day. The second study attempts to eliminate the effects of sleep deprivation by allowing the participants to sleep during the day to relieve lemasnya.

But just the same findings. When participants were exposed to light when waking up late at night, they tend to have trouble sleeping and feel less fit the next day.

"Shifting the body's biological clock becomes more soluble means do not sleep on the circadian clock that can best be obtained. Waking up at night with all lights will send a signal as well as during the day to the biological clock," he said.

He added that if someone then turn off the lights when you sleep, it will cause the body to become more relaxed and circadian rhythms adjust to the back.

Prof Burgess said confirms that exposure to light at night is equally important role in regulating the body clock caused by exposure to sunlight in the morning. Scientists believe that the morning light helps reset the brain every day and organize work to maintain hormonal body functions, including eating and sleeping.

He then explained that the secret to keeping the body clock stay organized and avoid the feeling of wanting to fit in the morning is to turn off or dim the lights at night and set the sleep time.

"And if it had to work late on weekends, the morning light is really good for the body," he concluded.
