The human body is programmed to be awake during the light of daytime, and asleep during the darkness of the night. This is due to a chemical process in our bodies – it starts when the light penetrates our retinas signaling to our brain that it must stop producing melatonin, the hormone that makes us tired and drowsy. Opposite, when the surroundings are dark, the brain increases the production of melatonin, so that we can get a good night’s rest.

What is Blue Light?
Blue light is a part of the visible light spectrum the human eye can see, better known as colors. The different colors give off different energy and are known to affect us in different ways. Blue light is the most energetic radiation, known for boosting people’s attention, reaction times and mood. About one-third of all visible light falls under the category of high-visible light, which is what we call “blue light” – in other words, it’s not only blue color itself but all shades of blues like indigo, purple, turquoise etc.

Luckily, the knowledge and awareness has finally reached us, and we are ready to prioritize the needs of our health.
