Darkness is necessary for health, artificial light is increasing pollution!

 Darkness is necessary for health, artificial light is increasing pollution!

This work is being done very seriously in Germany. In Europe and America, there is a growing belief that artificial light produces a kind of pollution that is dangerous for biodiversity and also not suitable for the climate. Then by consuming less electricity, both electricity and money are saved. h

bright singapore nights

In Tokyo and Singapore, the nights are so bright and light that people can't even feel the real darkness. The situation is the same in Europe and America. According to a report by Dash Vale, staying dark at night is beneficial for the betterment of the environment, as well as if we live or sleep in enough darkness at night, it is also good for human health.

Research Professor Timo Partonen wrote in his research, people usually sleep for 06 to 09 hours and if you want to get better sleep then you need to sleep in the dark. Good sleep keeps blood pressure better as well as controls the problems of weight gain. The brain works well and the memory remains better. A study has shown that keeping the lights on while sleeping can increase the risk of diabetes.

Nowadays people in Germany are turning off the electricity in the main buildings, monuments and all the major places of the cities at night. Similarly, the lights of the houses are also turning off early. There are many reasons for this, if the biggest reason is energy crisis, then many new research is showing that darkness is naturally beneficial for our health.

Plants like darkness too

A special hormone is produced in the dark

Just as there is a deficiency of Vitamin D due to not being in natural light, similarly there is a deficiency of a hormone if not being in the dark. Behind the diseases caused by lack of darkness is a hormone called melatonin, which is released only when it is dark. Scientist Christopher Kyba says, "When we do not get this hormone or people who are shift workers, then the biological clock system gets disturbed and because of that problems start to arise."

Other organisms also have to struggle to stay in artificial light at night. For example, corals cannot reproduce, migratory birds may lose their wandering instincts, and quick-leaved alligators often walk on land instead of going to sea, resulting in their death. Bats, many birds and insects that roam in the dark are also disturbed by artificial light. In Germany, about 100 billion night-flying insects die every year due to artificial light in the summer season.

how does it affect

Research also shows that plants growing near street lights have less pollination during the night. Because of this, there are less fruits and flowers in them, whereas these plants give more fruits due to darkness. Even big trees have the opposite effect of street lighting at night.
