Amber Glasses vs Blue Blockers: Which One Should You Trust for Sleep?

When it comes to better sleep, blocking blue light has become a hot topic. You’ve probably heard of blue blockers—those trendy glasses claiming to save your sleep from screen time. But then come amber-tinted sleep glasses, offering a deeper, more scientific promise. So what’s the difference? And more importantly, which one should you trust for sleep?

Let’s break it down.

Understanding Blue Light and Sleep

Before we pick sides, it’s important to understand why blue light is the enemy at night.

Blue light, especially from phones, tablets, and LED lighting, mimics daylight. When your eyes detect it after sunset, it sends a message to your brain: “Stay awake!” This delays the release of melatonin, the sleep hormone your body naturally produces at night.

Over time, late-night screen exposure can lead to:

• Difficulty falling asleep

• Poor sleep quality

• Increased risk of insomnia and fatigue

What Are Blue Blockers?

Blue blockers usually refer to clear-lens glasses that filter out a portion of high-energy visible (HEV) blue light—mostly during daytime use. They’re commonly marketed for:

• Digital eye strain

• Headaches from long screen exposure

• General comfort while working indoors

But here's the catch: most clear blue blockers only block 10–30% of blue light, especially in the 400–500nm range. This means they don’t do much when it comes to improving sleep.

They’re fine for reducing glare or helping with dry eyes, but when it comes to your circadian rhythm, they fall short.

Amber Tinted Sleep Glasses: A Different League

Now, enter amber tinted sleep glasses—like those from Sleepaxa.

These glasses are specifically designed to block almost all disruptive blue light (380–500nm) and even a portion of green light, which is also linked to sleep disturbances.

Here’s why they matter more at night:

• They support melatonin production, allowing your body to feel sleepy at the right time.

• They reduce sleep onset latency—meaning you fall asleep faster.

• They block light that interferes with deep, restorative sleep.

Amber lenses filter light in a way that mimics natural evening firelight—soothing, warm, and aligned with how humans evolved to wind down.

Real Talk: Which One Should You Trust for Sleep?

If you're scrolling through Instagram or answering emails at midnight, clear blue blockers just won’t cut it. They might reduce screen glare, but they won’t protect your melatonin levels.

Amber-tinted sleep glasses, like the ones from Sleepaxa, go beyond just filtering—they actively protect your brain’s sleep-wake cycle.

✔ Trust them if you:

• Have trouble sleeping

• Use devices in the evening

• Work night shifts

• Experience jet lag or insomnia

• Want to fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed
