How Blue Blocking Glasses Help You Sleep Better?

Blue light can be found in several energy-efficient light sources as well as digital devices. Its short wavelength stimulates your brain to stay more wakeful. It suppresses the production of melatonin to wreck your circadian rhythm making it harder to fall asleep. 

Here, blue-blocking glasses come into play - they lower the impact of blue light during the day. By the evening, if you are still on your screen, using these blockers will give fewer signals to your body into staying awake. This eventually balances your sleep cycle. The new-gen smartphones have a somewhat similar feature i.e., night mode. However, it is not that effective in shifting your sleep cycles. Other than using blue-blocking glasses, get off your electronics at least an hour or two before bedtime.

Blue light potentially interferes with your sleep cycles leading to metabolic or immunity-related issues. Sleeplessness also affects cognitive functioning, which affects your performance. So, blue light blocking eyewear helps reduce the unwanted as well as the poorly timed exposure. 

Preventive Measures

It is not just technology but the daily habits that make you more prone to related health hazards. So, to improve your sleep:

• First thing in the morning or after lunch, get your vitamin-sun. It provides you with a performance-boosting dose.
• Keep your screens at a distance - both at work and at home. It is one thing to watch television whiling away your time but entirely a different situation with your heads buried into phones.
• The closer your bedtime gets, the less interactive your media usage must be. 
• While working, wear your blue-blocking glasses and reduce the harmful exposure of light that may interfere with your nighttime routine. 

Contemporary problems require contemporary solutions. Pay attention to your light diet, take proper care of your well being, and save yourself from sleep disturbances.

Consult an experienced optometrist and get your pair of blue blockers for better sleep and efficiency.
