How does blue light affect your sleep – and how can you improve it?

In an era where screens are increasingly taking up space in our lives, sleep problems have become a challenge for many. Blue light from screens on computers, smartphones and tablets is a major culprit when it comes to sleep disturbances. But what is blue light, and how can you protect yourself from it to improve your sleep quality?

What is blue light and how does it affect your sleep?

Blue light is a type of light that is naturally found in daylight, but is also emitted from digital screens and LED lights. During the day, blue light is beneficial as it helps us stay awake and focused. The problem arises when we are exposed to artificial blue light in the evening , where it can disrupt our natural sleep rhythm.

Blue light inhibits the production of melatonin – the hormone that signals your body that it is time to sleep. When melatonin production decreases, it becomes harder to fall asleep and maintain a deep sleep throughout the night.

Consequences of poor sleep

When your sleep is disrupted by blue light, it can have several negative consequences:

• Increased fatigue: You wake up tired and unmotivated after a poor night's sleep.
• Lower energy and focus: Lack of sleep affects your ability to concentrate and productivity during the day.
• Long-term health problems: Persistent sleep disturbances can lead to an increased risk of stress, weight gain, and other health problems.

That's why it's important to take sleep quality seriously and protect your eyes from blue light.

How Blue Light Glasses Help Improve Your Sleep

Blue Light Glasses are designed to filter out the blue light from screens and artificial lighting. By wearing Blue Light Glasses, especially in the evening, you can protect your eyes and maintain natural melatonin production.

Here's how Blue Light glasses make a difference:
