"The Hidden Dangers of Blue Light: What You Need to Know"

Understanding the Effects of Blue Light on Your Health (And How Sleepaxa Glasses Help)

In today’s digital world, screens are everywhere—from smartphones to laptops to LED lights. But with this digital convenience comes a hidden danger: blue light. While natural blue light from the sun helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle, excessive exposure to artificial blue light, especially after sunset, may harm our health in surprising ways.

What is Blue Light?

Blue light is a short-wavelength, high-energy visible light (HEV) in the 400–490 nanometer range. It is naturally emitted by the sun but also produced by LED screens, digital devices, and fluorescent lighting.


6 Surprising Effects of Blue Light on Your Body

1. Disrupts Sleep Cycle

Blue light suppresses melatonin—the hormone responsible for sleep. Night-time screen exposure can delay sleep, shorten sleep duration, and reduce sleep quality.

📌 Tip: Wear amber-tinted blue light blocking glasses like those from Sleepaxa after 6 PM to protect your natural sleep rhythm.


2. Causes Digital Eye Strain

Staring at screens for long hours can lead to eye strain, dry eyes, blurry vision, and headaches—commonly known as Computer Vision Syndrome.

💡 Sleepaxa's anti-glare, blue light blocking glasses reduce screen glare and filter harmful blue light, providing all-day digital comfort.


3. Increases Risk of Retinal Damage

Prolonged blue light exposure can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina, increasing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

🔬 Scientific studies have linked high-energy blue light to oxidative stress on the retina. Blue light filtering glasses can act as a preventive shield.


4. Worsens Migraines and Light Sensitivity

Many migraine sufferers report that digital screens worsen their symptoms. Blue light is a common photophobia trigger.

👓 FL-41 filtered glasses from Sleepaxa are specially tinted to block blue-green light known to aggravate migraines and light sensitivity.


5. Impacts Mental Health

Disrupted sleep due to blue light can contribute to mood disorders like depression and anxiety. A lack of quality sleep affects hormone balance and emotional regulation.


6. Affects Hormonal Balance

Blue light exposure at night can alter circadian-related hormones such as cortisol, influencing stress levels, metabolism, and overall hormonal health.
