Blue light falls on the visible light spectrum and is considered the highest photonic (Light) energy. Blue light usually falls under 380 -500 Nm. You would be surprised to know that a part of the sunlight we experience is also blue in the spectrum. Perhaps looking at blue light tricks the brain into believing that the sun is shining outside, and the body starts producing hormones made during the day. Blue light has been shown in multiple studies to suppress the brain’s production of the hormone melatonin.

Most people think blue light is blue; it isn’t true. Blue light is harmful and comes from:
• TV
• Smartphone
• Tablets
• Led lights in homes, offices, shopping malls
• Computer screens
• Lights in your fridge

Most of these sources are known to amplify light, which is very similar to sunlight. So, in short, if you are looking at a device that has light coming out, then you are exposing yourself to harmful blue light. Constantly exposing yourself to these mean they can ruin your sleep, brain function, mood, and how you show up in the world.

Blue light essentially tricks your brain into believing that it is a different time of the day to which your brain responds by acting and changing functions in the body to match the perceived time. This means light from your devices can send false information via the photoreceptors in the eye and hamper processes like producing Melatonin which has so many health benefits. The glare that comes from looking at this type of light can also weaken the vision and cause many health conditions such as :

• Headaches
• Eyestrains
• Mood disorders
• Memory issues
• Brain fog
• Mental health issues such as stress and anxiety
• Weight gain
• Hormonal dysregulation
• Compromised immune function
• Heart and other cardiovascular disorders
• Inability to effectively manage blood glucose and can lead to diabetes
• Age-related macular degeneration
• Reduced cancer-fighting potential
• Weaken mitochondria
• Serious brain issues like Alzheimer’s

Melatonin got its fame as the ” Sleep hormone”; however its is much more than that. It is a powerful antioxidant capable of healing the body from multiple issues. A tiny gland produces Melatonin in the brain called the pineal gland. As the sunsets and the environment becomes dark, this serves as an evolutionary signal to the brain to start producing Melatonin which helps us fall asleep. However, exposing ourselves to artificial blue light cancels this biological signal by suppressing Melatonin. This results in people often having problems falling asleep and reduced healing capacity, to which we often find people falling sick.

Melatonin also has an interplay function with various other biological hormones such as stress hormones. One such hormone is ” Cortisol.” This inverse relationship in our body works because when melatonin levels are high at night, our stress hormones are low. Thus, constantly exposing ourselves to blue light, we trigger a reverse response where cortisol becomes high. Conversely, Melatonin falls low, resulting in increased stress, insufficient sleep, and impaired biological functioning.

• Use some blue light blocking software on your computer or phone.
• Invest in high-quality blue light blockers such as ours.
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule – After watching the screen for 20 minutes, take a break for 20 seconds and look at something at least 20 meters away.
• Have your laptop or computer at least 25 inches from your eyes and angle the monitor to be 10-15 degrees below your eye level.

We as a society naturally relied on sunlight during the day to keep us awake, and that’s where we got most of our blue light from. But these days, the blue light from our devices tricks our brain into believing that the sun is shining even post-sunset, which can cause harmful effects on our health. Of course, the easiest way to protect yourself would be to abstain from light post-sunset, but we both know that’s not practical. This is why we designed our glasses to minimize the harmful effects on your health, even if you are sitting in a brightly lit environment full of blue light. We do this by creating unique eyewear based on science that can filter and block the blue light in your environment so you can live as normally as possible. We are proud to offer a 24-hour solution to the blue light problem.

We do not advise using our Yellow lens hour while driving as it can inhibit you from sometimes noticing the color yellow on essential things like street lighting.

We do not advise & recommend using our amber and red lens especially when you are driving, as these glasses are powerful and designed to trick your brain into reacting to nighttime and increasing melatonin levels, which will make you tired, sleepy, and this can furthermore confuse you.

We designed our sleep collection keeping in mind that currently, the world is going through a sleep loss crisis. This is why we decided to offer a nighttime solution in line with science that can help you block and filter the harmful light and hack your brain into achieving calmer states and brain waves. Wearing the sleep collection at least 90 minutes before your time to hit the bed will ensure you have a restful and deeper sleep and prepare you to perform your very best in all aspects of life the next day.

It is simple to enhance your health, sleep, and brain function you have to get the zzz at night. For that, you need to filter out the harmful light in your environment. We also kept a subset of people in mind while creating the Dream collection, and these are the people who often don’t have a choice but to use their digital devices for work late in the evening.

Shift workers or new parents who adjust to awkward sleep/wake-up schedules can get some science help.

People who are often traveling between time zones and have their biology confused often.People who are just not able to sleep at the right time or sleep enough.
