Other research has found the effect of night­time lighting on the body may contribute to unhappy feelings.But it's too early to suggest that sleeping in the dark will help prevent obesity，a known risk factor for breast cancer.The findings are reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

　　Previous research has drawn similar conclusions.A team at Ohio State University examined how night­time light affects weight，body fat and glucose intolerance(葡萄糖过敏)in mice.They found that continuing exposure to even a little night­time light caused increases in all three aspects.
