Project Circadian Update 3 – Wrap Up

I’ve been using the blue light blocking glasses from lowbluelights.com for a few weeks now. I wanted to wrap up the project and these are the results I’ve seen personally:

  1. The glasses don’t make me sleepy. What I’ve found is that the exposure to the intensity of light matters as much as the type. For maximum effectiveness I would turn down most of the lights in my home and wear the glasses.
  2. They do help me sleep better. Before wearing the glasses I would wake up several times a night. Using the glasses I sleep through until my alarm clock wakes me up. For the record I actually use a sun-rise alarm clock. This is the one I have, a Sunrise Systems Dawn Simulator.:Basically these simulate dawn and rather than a blaring alarm to wake you up it slowly brightens the room. Thus dawn simulation. I will never use a regular alarm clock again.
  3. Are they worth the money? I think so. Being able to sleep soundly for hours is worth more than the $100.00!
