Well, it turns out some of that information can explain why staring at screens is disrupting our natural hormone cycle.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Basics of Blue Light<\/h2>\r\nFirst, a little refresher on how light works. If you’ll recall from your prism lecture, visible light is actually made of spectrum of different-colored rays. When we isolate the individual color rays, we find that those on the red end of the spectrum have longer wavelengths. Conversely, those on the blue end of the spectrum have shorter wavelengths. Specifically, blue light has wavelengths ranging from 380-500 nanometers.\r\n\r\nWhy are these facts important? The shorter wavelengths are more energetic and penetrate deeper into the eye than other wavelengths of light.\r\n

<\/h3>\r\n

Sources of Blue Light<\/h2>\r\nIt’s not that all blue light is always terrible. After all, sunlight is the original source of blue light! But it’s important to understand that we’re getting more exposure from less wholesome sources. More importantly, we’re getting it at unnatural times of the day. Your computer, phone, and television are all culprits, as is LED lighting. And with the allure of streaming websites and social media<\/a>, most of us are ingesting blue light very late into the evening instead of from sunrise to sunset.\r\n

How It Affects us<\/h2>\r\nThe main thing to know is that blue light disrupts your pineal gland. The pineal gland is an important part of your endocrine system that’s responsible for making melatonin. You’re probably familiar with melatonin as the sleep<\/a> hormone. It’s in charge of modulating our natural sleep cycles. Because our brain associates blue light as sunlight, exposure to it suppresses the production of melatonin.\r\n\r\nOn one hand, studies find that blue light can actually\u00a0boost our alertness and attention<\/a>. Consequently, lighting specialists began recommending using LED lights in classrooms for students with early start times.\r\n\r\nSo why the panic? The adverse effect of all this alertness is disrupted sleep cycles. While any type of light at night will contribute to keeping you awake longer, it’s especially bad with blue light. In a Harvard study<\/a> that compared blue-light exposure to green-light exposure at night, blue light suppressed melatonin for three hours instead of the hour and a half of green light.\r\n\r\nThen, the deeper penetration of blue-light wavelengths can impact the tissues and structures of the eye. The Review of Optometry<\/a> reports that too much exposure can even increase your risk of macular degeneration, aka vision loss, in the retina.\r\n\r\n\r\n

What to Do About It<\/h2>\r\nLuckily, even electronic manufacturers are aware of the problem and offer features to combat the problem. Look for night-mode settings on your phone, computer, and even some websites. These settings will alter your screen to show a warmer orange light as opposed to the harsh bright blue light that simulates daylight and disrupts your melatonin production.\r\n\r\nWhile these settings are most crucial to use when the sun goes down, you might experiment with setting it to night mode full-time to see if your sleep quality improves even more.\r\n\r\nOr if you reallllly<\/em> want to go overboard, you can adjust the color filters on your phone to remove blue light completely as I’ve done here. Stay tuned for reports back on whether this spooky-looking lighting improves my sleep quality.\r\n\r\n\n
