Sleeping With The Lights On Can Damage Your Health

Want a good night’s sleep?  Keep the lights off – ALL of them.

They theorize that even a small amount of light can put humans or animals into a ‘pro-inflammatory state’ during sleep. Would you rate your sleep habits as good or bad?  Do you try to keep a consistent bedtime?
