* Extended exposure to blue light can cause eye strain and upset sleep cycles
* These glasses block out blue light and help restore natural rhythms
* They are all made by Prive Revaux and available for under $30
Do you ever find that after a long day of staring at your computer screen, smartphone, TV, laptop or generally any electronic device with a screen, your eyes feel strained. You might also notice that you don’t sleep well. You’re not alone. As the age of screen-containing technology increases, more and more of “blue light” is making its way into our lives, and that might not be such a good thing.
While there was plenty of blue light before screen-filled technology existed (it also comes from the sun), we were never exposed to this type of light constantly from morning to night. Before, when blue light exposure dropped with the sun, it became a signal to your brain to slow down and prepare for rest. But now, that signal rarely arrives until you put your phone or computer down in the moments before sleeping, thereby upsetting your sleeping cycle and causing unnecessary strain. This strain can result in frequent headaches and an increase in stress hormones.
While a simple answer would be to remove screens from your life, that’s not really a practical one. Many devices now offer a reduced blue light setting for use in the evenings, which is great for inducing this sleep preparation signal and reducing the pain associated with blue light. However, another solution is to reduce blue light exposure by wearing special blue light-blocking eyewear.
