Sleep in the TV makes mice sad: makes them depressed. It depends on neither the quality nor the content of television programs. The cause of brain damage is the light emanating from the apparatus, according to specialists at Ohio State University (USA), the authors of the study, whose results were announced yesterday at the annual meeting of the American Society of neuroscientists, says El Mundo.

As it turned out, even a faint light causes a disturbance in the area of the brain called the hippocampus, responsible for emotional control. In this zone, a decrease in the number of nerve endings are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses.

The authors of this paper believe that it is impossible to say with accuracy whether the weak light of a lamp or TV on during sleep, a similar effect on the human brain.
