Light Pollution in India: Disrupting Sleep and Raising Health Concerns

Light Pollution in India: Disrupting Sleep and Raising Health Concerns

Imagine it's nighttime, but everywhere is super bright like daytime.

This is light pollution!

It can mess with your body's natural sleep clock, called your circadian rhythm.

If you're exposed to too much artificial light at night, you might have trouble sleeping, feel stressed, and have other health problems.

Some doctors think this is happening to more people in India.

Things like streetlights, billboards, and phone screens can all contribute to this.

Scientists and doctors are working to understand this better, and they suggest things like better lighting, using blackout curtains, and wearing blue light glasses to help.
