Switching on tube lights while sleeping

2023-06-16 19:49:40
Hello Doctor, sometimes I have office works till late night and I keep the tube light on while my son aging 6 years, sleeps. I switch off the light around 3 AM. Will it cause any health issues? I read in a Website that it may cause serious life risk diseases later like Cancer, Heart Issues etc. Is this true?

Nothing will happen to your son. You may use a bed sheet to cover him lightly so that the direct light doesn't affect his eyes.

Circardian Rhythm of the body should be respected. Light exposure is linked to melatonin secretion which will delay sleep and hence the circardian rhythm of the body gets disturbed. This rhythm becomes especially important when the kids are growing since it is associated with Hormone secretion like Growth hormone and Cortisol. Thus in short term he will have effect on growth and in long term will have behavioral issues.
