Which Sleepaxa Glasses Should You Choose?
Sleepaxa Category Comparison
Which Sleepaxa glasses
should you choose?
Sleepaxa makes three lens categories for three different light problems. Answer one question: what is the light doing to you? This guide points you to the right lens for migraine, sleep and screen needs.
Quick answer
Choose FL-41 (rose tint) for migraine and light sensitivity. Choose Amber or Red for evening light hygiene and sleep. Choose DayActive 1.0 (mid-yellow) for daytime screen comfort and gaming. FL-41 targets the light that triggers migraine and photophobia; Amber/Red reduce short-wavelength evening light before bed (Red is the darkest, strictest option); DayActive eases glare and eye strain during long daytime screen sessions. All three come in zero power and prescription, in single-vision, progressive, bifocal and prism, where supported.

Pick by what you feel.
Match the situation that sounds most like you.
Bright lights, screens or fluorescent offices trigger headaches, eye pain or light sensitivity.
You need light-trigger comfort, not just a dark lens.
Choose FL-41 Migraine →You want calmer evenings, easier wind-down and less bright light before bed.
Amber for afternoon→evening & indoor harsh light; Red only 1–2 hrs before sleep.
Choose Amber / Red Sleep →Long work, study or gaming days feel harsh, glary and tiring on the eyes.
You need daytime screen comfort and glare control.
Choose DayActive 1.0 →Side by side

In detail
Three lenses, three jobs.
FL-41 · Rose
Migraine & light sensitivity
Wavelength-selective rose tint · powered by NeuroCalm FLX+
FL-41 glasses use a rose-tinted, wavelength-selective filter often chosen by people with migraine-associated light sensitivity and photophobia. They may help some users manage light-triggered discomfort, not a cure or medical treatment.
- Fluorescent lights or LEDs feel harsh
- Screens or sunlight glare trigger headaches
- You need comfort indoors without dark sunglasses
Amber / Red · Sleep
Evening light hygiene
Amber (daytime→evening) · Red (night, strictest) · powered by Circadian560™
Amber and Red sleep glasses help reduce short-wavelength light exposure. Amber is lighter and can be worn from afternoon into the evening, and for indoor harsh light through the day. Red is the darkest, strictest option, made to wear only in the 1–2 hours before sleep.
- Amber: afternoon-to-evening & harsh indoor light
- Red: only the last 1–2 hours before bed
- You want an easier wind-down before sleep
DayActive 1.0 · Yellow
Daytime screen comfort
Mid-yellow screen-comfort lens
DayActive 1.0 is a mid-yellow lens tuned for daytime screen comfort, glare reduction and contrast, for gaming, work and study when migraine is not the main concern. A comfort lens, not an eye-damage prevention claim.
- Long work, coding or gaming sessions
- Harsh office lighting and screen glare
- You want calm daytime clarity, not a dark lens

Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Which Sleepaxa glasses are best for migraine?
Choose FL-41 if migraine or photophobia is your main concern. FL-41 is a rose-tinted, wavelength-selective lens often selected by people with migraine-associated light sensitivity. It may help some users manage light-triggered discomfort as part of a broader plan, it is not a cure or a replacement for medical care.
Which Sleepaxa glasses are best before sleep?
Choose Amber or Red sleep glasses for evening light hygiene. Amber is lighter and can be worn from the afternoon into the evening, and for indoor harsh light through the day. Red is the darkest, strictest option, made to wear only in the 1–2 hours before sleep.
Which are best for gaming and screens?
Choose DayActive 1.0 for daytime screen comfort, glare reduction and contrast during gaming, work or study, unless migraine or photophobia is your main issue, in which case FL-41 is more relevant. DayActive is a comfort lens, not an eye-damage prevention claim.
What is the difference between FL-41 and normal blue-light glasses?
Most blue-light glasses apply a light general coating. FL-41 is a specific rose-tinted, wavelength-selective lens profile associated with migraine and photophobia comfort, focused on the light bands linked to light-triggered discomfort rather than a broad blue-light claim.
Are amber and red sleep glasses the same?
They share the goal of reducing short-wavelength light, but differ in strength and timing. Amber is lighter and can be worn from the afternoon into the evening, and for indoor harsh light through the day. Red is the darkest, strictest option, made to wear only in the 1–2 hours before sleep.
Can one pair do everything?
One pair can help in more than one situation, but Sleepaxa categories are designed for different use cases. Matching the lens category to your specific light problem gives the clearest, most comfortable result.
