Night vs Day Usage: When Amber Glasses Work Best

Amber-tinted glasses have quickly become a go-to solution for people suffering from sleep disturbances, digital eye strain, and light sensitivity. But many still ask: When is the best time to wear them—during the day or at night? In this blog, we’ll break down the science behind amber lenses, explore their benefits at different times of day, and help you decide when Sleepaxa Amber Tinted Sleep Glasses can offer the greatest impact on your daily wellness.

What Are Amber Tinted Glasses?

Amber-tinted glasses are specially designed eyewear that filter out high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, especially in the 400–500nm range. Blue light, commonly emitted by screens and artificial lighting, disrupts melatonin production, leading to poor sleep and increased eye fatigue.

Unlike clear lenses or standard blue-blocking glasses, amber lenses provide a stronger filter that enhances contrast, reduces glare, and supports your circadian rhythm.

When Do Amber Glasses Work Best? Day vs. Night

Let’s explore the benefits based on time of day:

Daytime Use

• 🖥️ Protection Against Screen Fatigue: If you're exposed to computers, phones, or artificial lights for long hours, amber lenses help reduce eye strain and light-triggered headaches.

• ☀️ Indoor Light Sensitivity: If you work under fluorescent or LED lights, these glasses can reduce harsh light exposure that might cause discomfort.

• 😣 For People with Photophobia: Daytime use is especially helpful for those sensitive to indoor brightness or experiencing migraines due to lighting.

Who should use amber glasses during the day?

• Remote workers

• Students

• Designers or coders

• Photophobia sufferers

Nighttime Use

• 🌙 Blue Light Blocking Before Bed: Wearing amber glasses in the evening (ideally starting around 6 PM) helps your body naturally increase melatonin levels, leading to faster and deeper sleep.

• 📱 Scrolling Before Sleep? If you're on your phone or laptop late at night, amber glasses filter the blue light that tricks your brain into thinking it’s still daytime.

• 🛌 Better Circadian Rhythm Support: By simulating natural sunset lighting, these glasses help your internal clock prepare for restful sleep.

Who benefits from nighttime use?

• Shift workers

• Insomniacs

• Late-night screen users

• People with disrupted sleep cycles
