A mother in Ningbo, China, her daughter was only seven years old when she towered over her peers, standing at an astounding 120cm.
Not only that, but she had begun growing breasts too.
Dandan's mother was confused about her daughter's condition. If her daughter wasn't allowed to eat fried food, supplements or soft drinks, what would have led to her precocious puberty?
The reason behind her early-onset puberty rested on her sleeping habits for the past three years, Dandan had been sleeping with the lights on.
Her mother explained that in a bid to encourage Dandan to be more independent, she has been sleeping alone since she was four. However, as the child is afraid of the dark, she sleeps with the lights on.
When the girl first underwent her growth spurt, her mother was delighted by her development, therefore paid little heed to her unnatural growth.
It wasn't until she was giving her daughter a shower that she realised Dandan had developed breasts. She even felt a few small lumps too, the woman told Zhejiang News.
After bringing her for a check-up, doctors discovered not only did Dandan's skeletal structure resemble one of a 10-year-old's, but her ovaries had also grown bigger.
The girl's doctor said melatonin production in children is highest at night. By sleeping with the lights on, it disrupts the body's natural production of the hormone and suppresses it.
