Having electric light available at all times during the night is one of those luxuries we have taken for granted in our modern age -- but the results of a new study suggest that a well-lit house at night might actually be making you fatter. Working with mice, researchers from Ohio State University found that subjects gained more weight when exposed to persistent light at night compared to those who didn't, despite the fact they received the same amount of food and exercise.
