How Does Blue Light Technology Help You Sleep at Night

Find yourself struggling to fall asleep at night? Most spend their nights looking for distractions before they go to sleep like surfing the web, online shopping, Netflix or social media. However, did you know your technological devices are emitting blue light, which can keep you up? Luckily, BluBlocker sunglasses are a possible solution for you!

There are a number of hormones that can influence sleep, but one of the most important is melatonin because it is the central regulator of circadian rhythms. As the day progresses, melatonin levels rise and fall, and the cycle is heavily dependent on the 24-hour cycle. Harvard researchers found that blue light at night suppresses the secretion of melatonin and can drastically shift your circadian rhythms.

One key feature of BluBlocker sunglasses are the amber Malenium® colored lenses, which filters out blue light more efficiently than clear lenses. According to thesleepdoctor.com, “When light passes through a colored filter (in this case, the eyeglass lens) the filter allows light wavelengths of its own and similar colors to pass through—while absorbing the light of other colors. Amber lenses absorb the short-wavelength blue light that’s highly concentrated in artificial and digital light sources, preventing it from being absorbed by the eye. At the same time, these colored lenses allow longer-wavelength orange and red light wavelengths to pass through.”
