Natural blue light during the day makes total sense as it enables us to see and boosts alertness and performance. However, with the digital age at the forefront, we unnaturally extend our blue light exposure after sunset, stretching our waking life beyond the limit. As a result, we unknowingly compromise our sleep. Thankfully, there are easy ways to combat poor sleep. In this article, we’ll help you discover how to sleep better naturally.
Being sleep-deprived is not a badge of honor. Even though restricting sleep might gain you that much-needed time to complete important tasks, a broken circadian rhythm can have a lasting negative impact on your health, relationships, and general human performance.
In fact, a study by the American Psychological Association suggests that inadequate sleep can cause a range of neurobehavioral deficits, “including a lapse of attention, slower working memory, reduced cognitive throughout, depressed mood, and perseveration of thought.” Check out our FAQs below for the study.
While some people remain oblivious to the effects of artificial blue light on human circadian rhythm – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle – others are discovering how to sleep fast for optimal health.
Many people sleep better by being mindful of their habits in the hours before bedtime, which include but aren’t limited to the following sleeping tips:
While adopting home remedies for better sleep is the first step toward attaining better sleep, it’s crucial to acknowledge the effects of artificial blue light at night and take preventative action. As reported by Chronobiology International, “overnight melatonin secretion was significantly higher after using the blue-light shield,” and “sleep efficacy and sleep latency were significantly superior for wearers of the blue-light shield.”
In a perfect world, the best way to achieve quality sleep is to avoid blue light at least four hours before bedtime. But let’s be real here. Very few people can pull this off, and many still doubt the effects of excessive artificial blue light.
While blue light blocking glasses have exploded in popularity, Swannies are considered by over 135,000 satisfied customers as the best blue light blocking glasses solution for better sleep.
If you want to sleep better, you need to focus on effectively blocking excessive artificial blue light to encourage the production of melatonin – the human brain’s natural sleep hormone. Swannies Blue Light Blocking Glasses are designed with this goal in mind.
Here at Swanwick, we regularly have our Day and Night Swannies lens transmission independently lab tested by Oldsmar, Florida-based Colts Laboratories, the leading independent ophthalmic testing facility in the United States.
We believe in transparency when it comes to the science behind our Swannies Blue-Light Blocking Glasses. That's why, when choosing where to purchase blue-light blocking glasses, we recommend you check whether transmission reports from an independent testing facility are available.
Over the past decade, the effects of blue light have been extensively researched and studied by scientists and universities all over the world. Numerous independent scientific studies have shown the impact of blue light on both sleep and eye health.
