Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Natalya Dorokhova explained how yellow glasses affect the quality of sleep. Discuss

According to her, yellow glasses block the negativethe effect on the eyes of radiation in the blue spectrum, which suppresses adequate production of melatonin, which leads to problems with sleep. It comes from TV screens, monitors, smartphones and tablets. The doctor noted that the blue spectrum should be avoided at least an hour and a half before bedtime.

But if this is not possible, thenuse specialized yellow glasses. In addition to the fact that such glasses contribute to the production of melatonin in full, they also relieve eye strain, reduce the risk of waking up with a feeling of “sand in the eyes”. The specialist recommended wearing such glasses half an hour before bedtime.

“It is optimal if the glasses are made of high-quality materials with a certified light filter,” the somnologist advised.
