This is a real-world (not experimental) study demonstrating the prevalence of any light exposure at night being linked to higher obesity, high blood pressure (known as hypertension) and diabetes among older adults. It will be published on June 22 in the journal SLEEP.
Months – and, in some cases, even a year – after recovery from Covid, people might continue to face difficulty with sleeping habits, say health experts.
