Blue light is emitted from many sources, including the sun, light bulbs, TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones. There's some evidence that blue light can impact the quantity and quality of sleep and cause. Darkness is a natural cue to our bodies that it's time for sleep, but light exposure from various screens after the sun has gone down can delay sleep. Excessive blue light exposure can lead to melatonin deficit and disruption of circadian rhythms which can mean less sleep and poorer quality sleep.   See More...
