I am studying public health and I believe light pollution is a serious public health problem, even more than I can even imagine. It is an environmental health problem.
I remember watching CBS 60 Minutes and they talked about how people were getting less sleep on average than 30 years ago. The average today is 6.5 hours. In the past 30 years, the incidence and prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease have risen.
Studies have shown that people who sleep less are more likely to be obese and suffer from diabeters. As we are aware, obesity is a major problem.
