There are plenty of things that we all know can affect our weight. Cramming heaps of calorie-dense processed foods is a big no-no if you’re trying to get trim, and ensuring you’re getting plenty of exercise will help you keep the pounds off. Simple, right? Well, a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine draws a very interesting link between a certain common lifestyle habit and overall weight gain, and it’s downright bizarre.
The study, which focused on women between the ages of 35 and 74, shows that sleeping with the TV on — or any other source of bright light in the bedroom — and gaining weight tend to go hand-in-hand. In fact, the data from a five-year period shows that those who have a TV or other light source on while they sleep gained over 10 pounds during that timeframe.
