Light bedrooms 'link to obesity'

I resolved this problem by sleeping with my eyes closed.

I’ve been hearing about this report, and I’m still trying to decide how they are judging their light levels.

The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as:

Light enough to read
Light enough to see across the room, but not read
Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room
Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask

I can’t figure out how you can see your hand but not across the room? It’s not like my hand is lit. My bedroom just isn’t big enough to make that a useful distinction. The room would have to be in total darkness for me to not be able to tell where the dresser is vs. the window or the wall.
