The habit to watch TV or work on computer at night without switching on
the light may lead to depression, the Ohio State University researchers
claim, MEDdaily.ru reports.
The researchers checked the effect of dim light at the hamsters.
During the research, the focus group stayed for 8 hours in darkness
and for 16 hours in day light. At the same time, the second group has
lived for four weeks with day light for 16 hours, while with dim light
at nights. The outcome claimed that the animals of the second group
became less active in day time and they showed signs of depression.
Later the animals were returned to normal regime and in two weeks
their situation improved, RIA Novosti reports.
Researcher Tracy Bedrossian believes the fact that people do not sleep
in darkness has a negative impact on the statistics of prevalence
of depression.
