Topic: Pineal Gland, LCD Monitor, Darkness, Melatonin

Has there been any research done regarding the secretion of melatonin/pineal gland and if a person watches TV, uses the computer, stares at a screen at night?

Curious.

What are everyone elses thoughts?

When I don't use a PC, it seems like my pineal gland functions better. This is only a feeling...

This doesn't have a lot of references, but they certainly pull out some data so SOMEbody did some work.

This is a little more NR-paced, bringing in EM radiation and mentioning LCD screens specifically.

This one is more broad, speaking to electro-magnetic fields(EMF) in general.

This small dip into the subject just scratches the surface, but I can already see a pattern linking EMF to cancer.  Melatonin supposedly slows the growth of many types of cancer cells, so this is a VERY important subject to everyone!  Good question!
