Children who sleep with the lights at risk of developing leukemia.

The scientists found that the body needs in a dark atmosphere produce chemicals to fight cancer. Even when the lights on the toilet, sleep tonight, recreation across time zones, street lamps can stop the production of melatonin substances.

The body requires chemicals to prevent damage to DNA and the absence of melatonin, a substance that will stop the fatty acids into the tumor and prevent its growth.

Prof. Russle Reiter from Texas University who led the study said "Once you are asleep and do not turn off the lights for 1 minute. Your brain immediately detects that the light is on all day and the production of melatonin decreases substance ".

The number of children with leukemia rose to double in the next 40 years. Around 500 young people under 15 years at diagnosis suffering from this disease annually and about 100 people died.

A conference on children with leukemia was held in London suggests that people suffering from cancer due to prolonged use lights at night sleep time compared with that never wear light bedtime.

This suppresses the production of melatonin which normally occurs between the hours of 9 pm s / d at 8 am. Previous research has shown that people who are most susceptible are shift workers who are at risk of developing breast cancer.

In fact, blind people are not susceptible to melatonin have a lower risk of cancer. So the parents are advised to use light bulbs that dim red or yellow if the children afraid of the dark.
