These Blue Light Glasses Keep My Sleep Top-Notch Even With Nighttime Scrolling

Listen, I know nighttime scrolling isn't doing my sleep any favors. Studies have shown blue light exposure could have negative effects on sleep quality and sleep duration1 (which I've personally seen in my own sleep scores).

No matter how you spin it, though, some screen time is inevitable. And I'd rather rock a pair of funny-looking blue-light-blocking glasses than attempt to avoid screens altogether.

Admittedly, I was doubtful blue-light-blocking glasses would do much—but my sleep scores don't lie, and they've been peaking since I started wearing Bon Charge's glasses before bed.

I'm sleeping deeper and longer, and I'm waking up much easier, which truly impacts my entire day.

Eager to protect my sleep and still look cute in the process, I first tried more aesthetically pleasing styles with clear lenses and trendy frames.

Unfortunately, I learned most of these styles filter less than 30% of blue light, which is nowhere close to what we're exposed to each day.

What many people get wrong about blue light is believing that filtering it out will protect against digital eye strain, which research has indicated is not the case2. 

Research does, however, suggest blue light exposure in the evening can trick your brain into thinking it is actually daytime, which suppresses melatonin production3. This makes it harder to fall asleep and negatively affects your sleep quality once you do.

I've learned this firsthand from lower sleep scores on the nights I bring my phone (or worse, my laptop) to bed versus higher scores when I opt for a book or meditation.

But, as I said, sometimes the screens are inevitable. That's where these Bon Charge glasses come in.

To be clear, I've been wearing my Bon Charge glasses for months now, but I noticed an impact the very first night. I'd been suffering from a bout of Oura scores in the high 70s and low 80s, and that night my score shot up to a 91.

The skeptic in me always thinks results like this are a fluke, but with continued wear, my higher sleep scores have stayed surprisingly consistent.

Of course, great sleep scores mean nothing if you don't feel rested—and I'm shocked by how much easier I wake up on the mornings after wearing my Bon Charge glasses.

This newfound alertness is also reflected in my Oura readiness scores and in the amount I'm able to take on throughout the day.

There's a lot of factors that impact sleep quality, but screen time was seriously hurting mine—and these glasses are the real deal. By filtering out 100% of blue and green light, they've helped keep my sleep scores higher than ever.
