What Is Blue Light?
Blue light is a color in the light spectrum that can be seen by human eyes. It is also known as High Energy Visible (HEV) light because of its short wavelengths that are high in energy. It comes from the sun, but it’s also found in digital screens and LEDs.
Is Blue Light Bad For Me?
Too much blue light can cause eye strain, trouble staying focused, poor sleep and even headaches.
Being mindful of when and how you are exposed to blue light makes all the difference.
We need exposure to blue light in the morning to increase serotonin levels, and to boost focus, elevate our mood and calibrate our circadian rhythm.
We need the absence of blue light in the evening to signal our brain to release melatonin, our sleep hormone that allows us to fall asleep, and stay asleep.
How Can I Use Light To Boost Focus During The Day And Sleep Better At Night?
Catch 10 to 30 minutes of early morning sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythm and boost mood |

Avoid blue light or wear Felix Gray glasses from 8pm to support melatonin regulation and better sleep. |

Wear Felix Gray glasses to reduce eye strain and maintain deep focus when spending 2+ hours on digital screens or in bright indoor spaces. |
Do Blue Light Glasses Actually Work?
Glad you asked, because not all blue light glasses are made equal.
Digital screens and LED light emission peak at 455nm. This is important because other clear blue light glasses use a reflective coating to block light and this is only effective for wavelengths up to 430nm. Therefore they do not protect sufficiently against all blue light coming off screens and LEDs!
Dark colored yellow, red or orange blue light lenses on the other hand, do block all blue light. However, studies have shown that these lenses only marginally improve melatonin levels.
Protecting at 455 nanometers in combination with the way we manage light makes Felix Gray the only blue light glasses that have a measurable impact on sleep, focus and productivity.
Do Kids Need Blue Light Glasses?
Yes, even more so than adults because with their eyes still developing, filters against harmful light are less effective than adults.
Studies show that wearing Felix Gray glasses can help you stay focused for longer and sleep better at night. Good quality sleep is essential after a study session to lock all that new information into the long term memory. Don’t let their hard work go to waste because of poor sleep!
