And why they are important.

What are blue-lig
Blue light refers to a specific range of
visible light with a shorter wavelength and
higher energy compared to other colors in
the visible spectrum.

It is often associated with electronic

devices, such as computer screens,
smartphones, tablets, and LED lighting.
 🤔
What are the effects of
blue-lights?
Eye strain and discomfort.
Prolonged exposure to blue light can cause
eye fatigue, dryness, and discomfort.

It may contribute to digital eye strain or

computer vision syndrome, which includes
symptoms like dry eyes, blurred vision, and
headaches.
Disruption of sleep patterns.
Blue light can interfere with the body's
natural circadian rhythm, the internal
clock that regulates sleep and wake
cycles.

Exposure to blue light in the evening can

suppress the production of melatonin, a
hormone that promotes sleep, and
disrupt sleep patterns.

What do I do about this?
1. Use screen filters or night mode

Enable built-in screen filters or activate night mode

settings on your devices.

These features reduce the amount of blue light

emitted by adjusting the color temperature of the
screen to warmer tones. This can help minimize
the impact of blue light on your eyes and sleep.
2. Limit screen time before bed

Avoid using electronic devices with bright screens,

such as smartphones, tablets, or computers, for at
least one to two hours before bedtime.

This allows your body to naturally wind down and

promotes better sleep.
3. Use blue light-blocking glasses

Consider wearing blue light-blocking glasses,

especially in the evening or when using electronic
devices for extended periods.

These glasses have lenses that filter out or block blue

light, reducing its potential effects on your eyes and
sleep.
Be like me, use Anti-bluelight glasses!
Or use screen protectors/films that are designed
to filter out blue light.
4. Adjust lighting conditions

Ensure that the lighting in your environment is

appropriate when using screens.

Avoid excessive brightness, and opt for softer,

warm-toned lighting. Reduce glare by adjusting the
position of your screen or using anti-glare screen
protectors.
5. Take regular breaks

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a

20-second break to look at something 20 feet away.

This helps reduce eye strain and allows your eyes to

rest and refocus.
6. Create a bedtime routine

Establish a relaxing routine before sleep that doesn't

involve screen time.

Engage in activities such as reading a book, listening

to calming music, or practicing relaxation techniques
to prepare your body and mind for sleep.
󰞌 I recommend a calm music. 🎶
7. Consider using apps or software

Explore the use of apps or software that adjust the

color temperature of your devices throughout the day.

These tools can automatically reduce blue light

emissions based on the time of day, promoting a more
natural light environment.
8. Maintain good sleep hygiene

In addition to reducing screen time, practice other

sleep hygiene habits. Keep your bedroom cool, dark,
and quiet.

Establish a consistent sleep schedule, avoid caffeine

and stimulating activities close to bedtime, and create
a comfortable sleep environment.
