In 2017 The New York Times deemed sleep the “New Status Symbol,” due to both its rarity and the large number of benefits associated with healthy, restful sleep.
As gadgets and entertainment become more intertwined in our lives, if you’re like most people sleep may be more and more of a rarity. Looking to catch more life enhancing, cancer-fighting Z’s but can’t seem to shut down mission control (a.k.a Netflix and your iphone)? You’re not alone. Computers, tablets and smartphones (among other electronic devices) emit dangerous amounts of high-intensity blue light. Unfortunately sleep and blue light don’t mix well and can lead to debilitating sleep problems, eye strain, fatigue, mental health issues, weight gain and so much more.
Dr. Matthew P. Walker, a professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, states that “sleep is the single most effective thing you can do to reset your brain and body.”
How Does Blue Light Affect Sleep?
Blue light, commonly associated with daylight (but now dangerously emitting around the clock), disturbs your body’s natural circadian rhythm, the internal cycle that tells our bodies when to sleep, rise and eat. This can cause a circadian rhythm disorder making it hard to get to sleep, to maintain and get restorative sleep.
Learn more about sleep studies using blue light and circadian rhythm from the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. It’s important to note that there is a difference in nighttime (link) and daytime (link) blue blocker glasses and therefore, different benefits for each.
