Harmful blue light in your home: What impact does it have on your health and how can you protect yourself?

In our daily lives, we are surrounded by technology that emits blue light. This light, which is part of the visible spectrum, plays a crucial role in our well-being. It helps keep us awake and alert during the day, but when the sun goes down and artificial lights take over, it’s a different story.

Why should we care about blue light at home?

1. Excessive exposure to blue light: blue light from the sun and blue light from artificial sources are not the same. LED bulbs and electronic displays emit much more blue light than we are naturally accustomed to. This excessive exposure can have negative effects on our health.

Interference with our biological clock: at night, the absence of blue light should trigger the production of melatonin, a hormone that prepares us for sleep. However, artificial lights, especially LEDs, emit enough blue light to confuse our body into thinking it is still daytime. This interferes with our sleep cycle, making it difficult to reconcile sleep and its quality.

How to reduce blue light exposure?

Here are some tips on how to protect yourself from harmful blue light in your home and improve your quality of life:

  1. Choose appropriate lighting: opt for bulbs that do not emit blue light. There are alternatives on the market such as Amber bulbs and lamps, which are designed to reduce exposure to blue light and its negative effects. These lights also have low EMF emissions and do not flicker, making them even healthier.
  2. Limit screen use before bedtime: try to avoid using electronic devices at least one hour before going to bed. If this is not possible, use blue light filters on your devices or anti-blue light glasses.
  3. Create a suitable sleeping environment: make sure your bedroom is dark and free of artificial lights. Use blackout curtains and consider using sleep masks, if necessary.
  4. Establish a consistent sleep routine: going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps regulate your biological clock and improves sleep quality.

A healthier future

Reducing exposure to harmful blue light will not only improve your sleep, but will also have a positive impact on your daily life, making you feel more rested, alert and productive.

Make your home a healthier place and enjoy the benefits of restful sleep!
