The rule of thumb is that people should get about 8 hours of sleep per night.
But is it really for EVERYONE?

Emerging evidence indicates that light exposure plays a role in human metabolic regulation, with evening light exposure having unfavorable effects on metabolic functions including decreased glucose tolerance and decreased insulin sensitivity.
This newly published study in PNAS shows how one night of moderate light exposure during sleep can produce these changes and proposes pathways to explain the relationship between nighttime light exposure and altered metabolic function.
