Yes, the use of electric lights and screens in the evening can mess with your sleep, but that’s not the whole picture, says Horacio de la Iglesia, PhD, a professor of biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. In fact, daylight is considerably brighter, even on an overcast day, compared to indoor lighting. So they’re not the same. #sleep #sunlight #circadianrhythm #webmd
