Why I Avoid Blue Light After Sunset

# Why I Avoid Blue Light After Sunset

We live in a world full of screens. Phones, laptops, TVs — they’re everywhere.  

But did you know that **blue light from these screens can disrupt your sleep, strain your eyes, and mess with your focus**?

That’s why I made one change that’s improved my health more than I expected:  

**I avoid blue light exposure after sunset.**

## 👓 My Personal Routine

Even though I’ve always had good vision, I started wearing **blue light blocking glasses** a few years ago — especially when I use my **monitor, phone, or any screen at night**.

It’s now a non-negotiable habit.  

If I’m looking at a screen, I’m wearing the glasses.

## 💡 What Is Blue Light, and Why Does It Matter?

Blue light is a high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted from digital devices.  

While it helps us stay alert during the day, **exposure after sunset can confuse our brain into thinking it's still daytime.**

This leads to:

- Disrupted melatonin production  

- Trouble falling asleep  

- Digital eye strain and fatigue  

- Headaches or brain fog the next day

## ✅ What I’ve Noticed Since Wearing Glasses

After I started blocking blue light in the evenings, I began to notice:

- **Less eye fatigue at night**  

- **Deeper, more restful sleep**  

- **Sharper focus in the morning**  

- **A steady mood and better energy all day**

It’s a small change that brings real results — and the best part is, I didn’t need to give up my screens. I just needed to use them *smarter*.

## 🧠 Final Thought

In a world full of noise and screens, protecting your eyes is one of the best things you can do for your brain and body.

If you haven’t tried blue light blocking glasses yet, I highly recommend giving them a shot.  

**Sometimes the smallest habits protect what matters most.**
