Wondering how much of this is due to geography and air quality. City centers have relatively bad air quality and a high amount of ambient lighting at night, compared to non urbanized areas.

The cardiovascular effects of poor air quality is arguably well understood.

Sorry for exposing my personal medical data, but... I literally cannot fall asleep without at least some light. So I sleep with lights on. Trying to be like normal people would only make my overall health worse.

Is this a medical condition that has a name?

does it make a difference if it's warm or blue light?

So use the toilet in the dark?

Do you have to turn the light on to use the toilet?

I do have to, this is why I bought one of those IKEA smart bulbs and made it dark and blue. If I get up at night, I use my watch for light.
