Welcome back. We are in Module One, sleep better pillar three, reducing blue light exposure for better sleep. Now what is blue light? Blue Light is a type of light that's emitted by LED lighting, halogen lighting, fluorescent lighting, computers, pads, cell phone, screens and TVs. Now the effect that blue light can have on us includes digital eye strain syndrome. So blurry vision, difficulty focusing dry eyes, headaches, and neck pain.
It can cause macular degeneration, disruption of your circadian rhythm long term memory issues And brain detox inhibitor. There's several ways that we can help to reduce this impact. One of them includes installing the right light bulbs for the right time. Consider using sleep enhancing light bulbs for nighttime use and full spectrum light bulbs for daytime used. The sleep enhancing bulbs can be used in something like your bedside table like this picture here. Or if there's certain lights throughout your house that you tend not to use during the day, you might switch those out to have a sleep enhancing bulb, which is kind of like this orange glowy color that you see here.
And in the references down downloadable references section. I have some resources there for you, too. Find and purchase these types of bulbs. Next, use blue light blocking glasses for screen time or when you're exposed to blue light from LEDs fluorescence or halogen lighting. And it's important to note that these blue light blocking glasses can be used during the day at work when you're inside and that will help keep your circadian rhythm in balance. If you're using screens at night, within a couple of hours of going to bed, be sure to definitely use some blue light blocking glasses.
Or you could consider turning off all of your screens at least two hours before bedtime. Congratulate congratulations. This wraps up module one sleep Better. Next, download the sleep checklist and resource guide, where I share some of the resources that I mentioned in this slide presentation. Thank you and we'll see you next in Module Two.
