Sleep Like a Baby

Thanks for posting this link, especially as it relates to ADHD. I've read that exposure to blue light can help a person wake up, so this piece makes sense.

Hi,

I cannot sleep at moonlight if the sky is clear the moonlight will be very bluish.

Same situation with streetlight if not the yellow type.

So I sometimes switch on the room light to get satisfactory color.

This sensitivity to blue light was a very useful adaption of our early ancestors because at night predators and enemies were around. So some watchful and full awakened persons watching what happened were necessary for survival of the group.

What a crock. Blue blockers have been around for decades, and they are good for daytime and low-light clarity; and protection for eyes--ask any skier. But this circadian BS from What's His Name University for Remarketing of Long-Forgotten Gimmicks...sound like this is just about finding a way to get $20 and up, plus P&H, for a $4 pair of shades. No doubt many will fall for it.

Its interesting to note that reccently the world health organization and the american cancer society announced that they would be adding shift work, that is, working at night, to thier list of probable carcinogens. In a number of articles they state the reason was because of the disruptions of melatonin production, which has been shown to affect cancer growth. Some articles also stated that red light, while not ideal for working conditions, helps promote melatonin production.

Just close your eyes and you'll not need to spend any money on this scam. Someone is trying to build a business to sell to suckers those glasses.

Sorry to be so abrupt but I can't find kind words when I see this kind of pseudo-science emerging more and more often.

Hi,

blue blockers will not help if the window is open or you are outdoors.

And eyes closed is tha same as much light can get through and this sensitivity is not related to light intensity but to color.

Some people use black sleepimg masks, I cannot.

The day after losing the 1968 presidential race to Richard M. Nixon, Hubert H. Humphrey was asked by a reporter, "How did you sleep last night, Mr. Humphrey?"

"Like a baby. I woke up every two hours and cried."
