Always “news you can use” 🙂

In a recent Wirecutter Newsletter, I read “Staring at a device that emits blue light for too long at night might cause your body to suppress melatonin production, keeping you alert for longer.”

These topics can get pretty “nerdy“, so I am just going to give you some bullet points about Blue Light.

According to the website source, blue light is everywhere. For example, Sun, Cell phones, TV’s Tablets etc.

However, using these devices in the evening before bed, is not helpful for a restful night sleep because they might suppress melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone in your body that plays a role in sleep. It increases when it is dark and decreases when it is light.

According to a Wirecutter Newsletter a conversation with experts suggested wearing blue-light blocking glasses after dark may help with sleep after working on your phone or computer. Use this link to sign-up for the newsletter.
