How can you minimize the impacts of blue light and increase your sleep quality, and overall health?
In the second part of this interview, Andy Mant explains exactly how to use blue-blocking glasses, the right light bulbs, well-timed sun exposure and other strategies to mitigate the health impacts of artificial light frequencies.
Discussed during this episode:
- Why sun exposure first thing in the morning and right before sunset is key to optimizing your melatonin production and resetting your circadian rhythm
- Why you should take frequent “sun breaks” (instead of smoking breaks) during the day
- When to use blue-light blocking glasses, and the big differences between clear lenses, yellow lenses, and orange/red lenses
- Why you should consider using a sleep mask at night

As far as i know of there are no blue light blocking glasses which block 100% of the blue light regardless of the screen viewing distance which to me this means they are all useless and a waste of money.
Hey, thanks for your comment. If I’m following you correctly, your claim is that any intervention is useless, unless you can block 100% of the blue light spectrum? Looks to me like an all or nothing kind of thinking and I don’t think it makes much sense. I’ll send a few questions to Andy and come back to you.
Hey,
I’m not sure where you heard that there are no blue light blocking glasses that block 100% of blue light. See Andy’s reply below:
“Great to hear from you.
Odd question! The test reports are on our website, I have attached our graph showing 100% blockage (see https://emfessentials.com/blogs/smart-meter-cover-blog/spectrum-test-results-for-leading-blue-light-glasses). I have also done a video airing in July showing the live test on camera as well and shows 100% blockage.
I am unsure what he means by distance from a screen as lux doesn’t impact light spectrum blockage. So kind of irrelevant and not worth addressing in great detail IMO.
He may be referring to the fact that light can enter the sides of glasses, which would technically mean they dont block 100% of blue light. However my response for this would be below.
The iPRGC receptors are located in the inner retina and function in such a way that the extremely minor light that may peek through sides or top of frames is not enough for the PLR (pupillary light reflex) to phototransduct to any large degree because the iris is open to a wider diameter due to the lens themselves already putting a dynamic reduction in light volume. It’s really a matter of light angle and the wavelengths we target with eyewear strategy (most specifically peaking at 460nm to 485nm) do not bounce off the face to the inner surface of the lens and then into the eye.
Hope that helps a bit?
Andy”
