Am thinking they are trying way too
hard to get headlines. According to the American Medical
Association, which represents about 15% of physicians, "Recent
large surveys found that brighter residential nighttime lighting
is associated with reduced sleep times, dissatisfaction with sleep
quality, excessive sleepiness, impaired daytime functioning, and
obesity." It says, "the effect of streetlight LEDs on drivers and
passengers lingers even after we have locked our cars and headed
indoors, especially if we have LEDs in our houses."
Incidentally, Doximity, a social network for doctors founded in
2011 now has more members than the AMA.
