Night sleep
Nighttime plays a crucial role in regulating the body's circadian rhythm, influencing various physiological processes. Exposure to darkness prompts the release of melatonin, a hormone that induces sleepiness. Quality sleep during the night is essential for overall health, impacting mood, cognitive function, and immune system function. Disrupted sleep patterns, often associated with nighttime exposure to artificial light, can lead to sleep disorders and potential health issues. Additionally, night-shift work has been linked to an increased risk of certain health conditions due to circadian rhythm disruption.
