To maintain our lifestyle, a good chunk of our days are spent in front of the screen. These magical screens allow us to bring in $$$ (margarita money), but they also bring in something called blue light. When our eyes aren’t protected against this overexposure, the light can have short-term, and longer-term negative effects.

HOW DOES EXPOSURE TO BLUE LIGHT AFFECT US?

When we are exposed to blue light, our body stops releasing a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin regulates our 'circadian rhythm' - a fancy term for our sleep & wake pattern. When the body releases melatonin, we start to feel sleepy.

With natural sources of blue light such as the sun, this regulates our natural circadian rhythm i.e. when the sun rises, the blue light from the sun stops melatonin production which means our bodies wake up and become more alert for the day - blue light is what tells us to get alert, wake up and be up & at ‘em!

When the sun sets, the blue light disappears, melatonin production starts and the body starts to wind down naturally and feel sleepy ready to rest & recoup over night.

Do you remember the last time you had a blissful sleep?

It can be tough right.

It is probably your overexposure to screens in the evening that is stopping you from sleeping easily.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE EXPOSED TO BLUE LIGHT FROM OUR SCREENS?

With artificial sources of blue light such as our laptop & phone screens, the effect on the body is exactly the same. So if you’re staring into your screen all day and night - that’s going to deplete your production of melatonin, tricking your body into thinking you should still be alert when you’re ready to snooze. A tragic case of Netflix and no-chill.

This can make it difficult to fall asleep and can totally throw your circadian rhythm out of whack.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CIRCADIAN RHYTHM IS DISRUPTED?

Do you watch Netflix in the evening? Do you have late night video calls with a different timezone? Do you like to scroll through IG one last time before bed?

Yes we thought so. We're guilty too! These are all habits that will expose you to blue light at a time when you should be winding down, this will likely disrupt your circadian rhythm and could be the reason you are feeling some of the side effects listed above.

A little bit of Sleep history for you...

Before light bulbs and computers, our ancestors used to wake up at sunrise and sleep at sunset.

Today, thanks to visionaries like Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and Steve Jobs and Reddit we choose to stay awake for longer well into the night! We can see you, scrolling away on Instagram when really you meant to go to sleep an hour ago - we all do it!

While our habits have changed, our bodies have not. We remain tuned in to the rhythms of the sun for signals to sleep and wake up.

When we see blue light, our brain interprets this as the sun being out, and keeps us awake. If you've ever had trouble sleeping after going on your phone, you probably know how this feels!

Studies show that lack of sleep significantly increases the risk of mental and physical health issues.

In fact, Sleep Expert Matthew Walker says:

“I used to suggest that sleep is the third pillar of good health, along with diet and exercise but I don't agree with that anymore. Sleep is the single most effective thing you can do to reset your brain and body for health.”

A study by Colombia University showed that participants who wore blue light blocking glasses got, on average, 50 minutes more sleep every day.

Investing in a pair of good quality blue light glasses is one of of the most affordable wellness products on the market. Getting 50 minutes more sleep every day will result in HUGE ROI on your overall physical & mental health.

And guess what…… we can help you with that!

We're all about promoting a balanced life & good sleep health here at F&I. One of the most important parts of a healthy lifestyle is SLEEP! 💤

Prep yourself for a good night's rest with a solid bedtime routine. Here are 3 of our best tips to improve your snooze:

1. Cut off caffeine by the early afternoon. ☕️ Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning you'll still be feeling it's effects well into the evening if you're not careful.

2. Wear your Franc & Iris blue light throughout the day, especially after 5pm if you are still spending time on your devices! 👓

3. Give your body clock a break by committing to a consistent sleep & wake time each day. 🛏
