Why Sleeping With Fairy Lights On May Disrupt Sleep Quality

Some people love to fall asleep with pretty lights on, like fairy lights, because they make the room feel cosy and calm.

But sleep doctors say it is not a good idea to sleep with those lights on.

Even soft, dim lights can confuse our brains and bodies.

Our bodies may think it is still daytime when there is light in the room.

That can make it harder to get deep and restful sleep.

Deep sleep is important because it helps us feel fresh and healthy.

One expert, Dr Pooja T, a lung doctor at a hospital in Bangalore, says even dim decorative lighting can affect how deeply we sleep.

So it is better to turn off the pretty lights before going to bed.

If you are not sure what is best, you can ask your own doctor for advice.
