In studying light pollution maps, researchers looked at the lower 48 states and incorporated medical data associated with Alzheimer's disease risk factors and divided the groups by light intensity.

Again, the link between light pollution and Alzheimer’s disease is a newer one that needs to be explored more. But lowering your exposure to light could help you sleep better, now and in the future.

Exposure to outdoor light at night could put people at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD), according to a new study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. "We show that, in ...
