Understanding Blue Light

What is Blue Light?

Blue light is a type of visible light with short wavelengths and high energy. It typically falls between 400–500 nanometers (nm) on the visible light spectrum.

It’s naturally present in sunlight and plays an important role in regulating alertness, mood, and our internal body clock during the day.

Problems arise when we’re exposed to blue light at the wrong time — especially after the sun goes down.

Why Blue Light at Night Is a Problem

Blue light isn’t inherently bad — it’s essential at the right time.

During the day, blue light from the sun helps regulate our internal clock. It supports alertness, focus, and mood by signaling to the brain that it’s time to be awake and active.

As the sun sets, the body expects light to shift toward warmer wavelengths. This allows melatonin — the hormone responsible for sleep and recovery — to rise naturally. Blue light in the evening disrupts this process by signaling “daytime” to the brain when the body is preparing for rest.

Today, blue light doesn’t just come from the sun. It also comes from artificial sources we commonly use at night, including screens and modern LED lighting.

When blue light exposure continues into the evening, it can delay melatonin release, disrupt circadian rhythm, and make it harder to fall asleep and recover fully.

How to Manage Blue Light at Night

Put away devices 1hr before bed

Phones, TVs, and laptops emit concentrated blue light that can delay melatonin production. Reducing screen use in the final hours before bed can make it easier to fall asleep. Try to keep your phone out of your room & remove a TV from room if you have one there, Then add habits such as journaling or reading to replace the craving (this is the harder part of the proccess).

👉 If screens are unavoidable, reducing brightness & filtering blue light can help.
