Because sleep has worsened in recent years ?

More and more people have difficulty falling asleep, suffer from insomnia or wake up during the night.

There is a little-known culprit behind this problem, which affects us every minute we spend in front of our cell phones in the evening.

An invisible enemy that is silently sabotaging the quality of our sleep, night after night.

As we scroll through social media, watch Netflix, or use our PC, this invisible enemy attacks our brain.

The result?

Hours wasted tossing and turning in bed, a light and fragmented sleep and that feeling of waking up still tired.

But there is something more worrying...

You see, this enemy does more than just ruin our sleep.

It can affect the whole next day.

Feeling tired, difficulty concentrating, headache, burning and tired eyes.

It could all be caused by this enemy that acts in the evening when we are in front of the smartphone.

88% of Italians use their cell phones before going to bed, completely unaware of the price they are paying.

A study published in Wired revealed that this problem is getting worse year after year, causing not only sleep disturbances but also a significant increase in stress levels.

What is this invisible enemy that is compromising our rest?

It is the blue light.

Our device screens emit enormous amounts of it, but to truly understand why this is a problem, we need to take a step back.

Think about how our grandparents slept.

Their sleep followed a natural rhythm, which went hand in hand with the sunlight.

During the day, the blue light from the sun kept them awake and active.

At sunset this light disappeared, leaving only warm, reddish tones.

The result?

They fell asleep within minutes and had a deep, restful sleep.

What's happening today instead?

Today everything has changed.

The introduction of LED lights and digital screens has completely overturned this age-old balance of perfect sleep.

It's no coincidence that sleep problems have exploded in recent years, in parallel with the spread of ever more screens and ever more time spent in front of them.

But what exactly happens to our brains when we are exposed to blue light in the evening?

It's fascinating and worrying at the same time.

Our brain has an internal mechanism, called circadian rhythm, known as the “biological clock”.

Over millions of years, this system has evolved to regulate our sleep-wake cycle based on a single signal: the presence or absence of blue light.

Here's how it worked…

During the day, the blue light from the sun told our bodies to block the production of melatonin – the sleep hormone – and instead produce cortisol, which would keep us awake and alert.

From sunset onwards, the blue light was absent and only orange light was present.

This told our bodies to stop producing cortisol – the stress hormone – and produce melatonin.

This hormone made us relax and fall asleep within minutes, giving us a deep and restful sleep.

It was a perfect mechanism like a Swiss watch... until modern technology came along.

Looking at technological screens like your smartphone in the evening exposes us to the blue light emitted by its screen.

It's as if we were shining a micro-sun directly into our eyes.

Our brain, unable to distinguish between natural and artificial blue light, receives the wrong message that it is still daytime, and therefore to keep us awake.

And it's not just the smartphone that's to blame.
There are many sources of blue light that surround us every evening: the TV while we watch Netflix, the PC and even LED light bulbs.

In 2018, the European Union outlawed old halogen light bulbs due to energy saving concerns.

This has led to the spread of LED light bulbs which, ironically, while saving us energy, consume our own.

It's like living in an eternal artificial noon.

We are constantly bombarded with blue light until late at night.

Many people use their cell phones literally until they close their eyes.

Our confused brain then continues to produce cortisol - the stress hormone - when it should be relaxing and preparing the body for rest.

It’s no surprise that the sleep aid market has grown in tandem with our exposure to blue light.

A study published on pharmiweb.com highlights the seriousness of the problem, which is skyrocketing.

In 2000, the global market for sleep aids was $22.5 billion.

In 2010, it was $50 billion.

In 2020, it was $81.2 billion.

By 2025, it is estimated to reach a whopping $112.7 billion.

If we don't take action, more and more people will suffer from these problems.

The question is… how can we protect our sleep in this modern world?

How can we go back to sleeping like our grandparents without giving up technology?

We only have two options to do this.

The first is to go back to living as we did until a few decades ago.

This means turning off all devices after sunset.

No smartphones, no Netflix, no LED lights.

Just candles and the natural darkness of the night.

In a world where our lives and our affections are often supported by technology, giving up our devices such as our smartphones in the evening is practically impossible.

Who among us can really afford to stay disconnected in the evening?

But there is a second option, and this is where science comes to our aid.

Dr. Charles Czeisler, one of the world’s leading sleep experts, discovered something interesting: we don’t necessarily have to eliminate technology from our lives.

We just need to block the blue light from reaching our eyes.

When we block blue light, our bodies return to functioning as they did in nature.

The brain produces melatonin naturally, cortisol decreases, and our body begins to prepare for a deep, restful sleep.

Maybe you’re thinking that your phone has a night mode and that’s the solution…

But unfortunately not.

Our smartphone's night mode blocks only a small portion of blue light.

In a Light Research Center study on the effectiveness of Apple’s Night Shift, researchers exposed multiple people to screens with Apple’s Night Shift enabled.

The result was that with Night Shift mode active, the devices still significantly blocked natural melatonin production, only slightly less than the screen without this mode.

This is why people do not notice any improvements in their sleep even when they enable night mode on their devices.

As this study proves, the blue light that passes through the screen in night mode is enough to trick our brain into stopping the production of melatonin, ruining our sleep and our life.

What also happens with the lights at home?

The LED bulbs that illuminate our living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms emit large amounts of blue light.

For this reason, it is necessary to adopt a protection that prevents blue light from reaching and hitting our eyes and therefore damaging our sleep.

One popular method on the market to block blue light is blue light blocking glasses.

There are many glasses advertised as “anti-blue light”.

You can see them everywhere: in pharmacies, online, even in supermarkets.

Most of these glasses use clear or slightly yellowish lenses that block only a minimal percentage of blue light.

Just like your screens' night mode, it's like using SPF 2 sunscreen in the middle of August - technically it's sunscreen, but it won't save you from getting sunburnt.

What you will soon discover in this video is the only solution that you can put into practice without effort and with proven effectiveness to block blue light and return to sleep - and therefore to live - as we did in nature.

It is the result of years of research in chronobiology.

A sort of “portable sunset” that allows you to live with the technology of the modern world while maintaining your natural biological clock.

We spend a third of our lives sleeping.

Sleep is the process by which we rest and recharge for the next day.

The quality of our sleep determines how we live when we are awake.

When we sleep badly we wake up already tired, we have difficulty concentrating, we are irritable and have less energy.

Now, let the researcher behind No Blue Light Glasses himself explain to you how you should choose anti-blue light glasses that are different from any other pair of glasses you have seen before…

What you will see now is the result of years of research in the field of chronobiology.
