Blue Light from Screens: The Hidden Danger to Your Sleep and Health (Science Revealed!)

In a world where we spend more and more time in front of screens, the blue light emitted by phones, computers, and tablets has become a health concern. But its impact goes far beyond your eyesight!

Blue light has a specific wavelength that directly affects our biological clock, known as the circadian rhythm. When we are exposed to blue light, especially at night, our brain thinks it's still daytime.

This interferes with the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Decreased melatonin makes it harder to fall asleep and affects sleep quality, leading to insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Lack of quality sleep doesn't just affect our energy; it also impacts our mood, concentration, and long-term health. Besides sleep problems, excessive blue light exposure can cause eye strain, headaches, and, according to some research, may play a role in the development of long-term eye problems.

Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself. Reduce screen time, especially in the hours before bed. Use blue light filters on your devices or apps that adjust the screen color temperature at night. Take regular breaks when using screens for long periods.

Small changes in your digital habits can make a big difference in your sleep quality and overall health.
