Everything You Need to Know About Blue Light
If you're reading this, you're likely using a digital device emitting blue light. Emerging evidence shows that blue light can harm our eyes and disrupt our sleep.
What is Blue Light?
Blue light, a color within the visible light spectrum, has a short wavelength, producing more energy than other types of light. It falls between 400nm and 495nm on the spectrum, making it one of the highest-energy visible light types. Traditionally, the sun was the only significant source of blue light.
However, with the advent of modern technology, blue light is now emitted from digital devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, as well as from LED and fluorescent house lights. This increased exposure to artificial blue light has raised concerns about its potential impact on our eyes and sleep patterns.
Natural vs Artificial Blue Light?
The sun emits blue light during the day, which plays a crucial role in regulating our circadian rhythms. This natural blue light helps keep us alert and enhances our overall sense of well-being. The blue color of the sky is a clear indication of the presence of blue light emitted by the sun. This natural exposure to blue light during daylight hours is beneficial for our health.
However, in today's modern world, we are exposed to artificial blue light from various sources, including electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets, as well as LED and fluorescent lighting commonly used in homes and offices. Unlike natural blue light, artificial blue light can have adverse effects on our health.
Studies have shown that exposure to artificial blue light in the range of 415nm to 455nm can lead to digital eyestrain, causing discomfort and fatigue after prolonged use of digital devices. Moreover, blue and green light between 400nm and 550nm can disrupt the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. This disruption can negatively impact our sleep patterns, making it harder to fall asleep and achieve restful, restorative sleep.
Understanding the differences between natural and artificial blue light is essential for maintaining our well-being in a digital age. By managing our exposure to artificial blue light, especially during the evening, we can support better sleep and reduce the risk of digital eyestrain.
