Apply blue light filter

This helps maintain melatonin levels and supports better sleep.

What You'll Do

Use a blue light filter on your devices for the next two hours.

Scientific Basis

Blue light at night suppresses melatonin about twice as long as green light (≈3 h vs. 1.5 h), so minimizing blue-rich lighting improves mood by reducing hormonal disruption.

The Science of Impact

Reducing evening blue light exposure can support hormonal balance, leading to improved mood and emotional regulation.

A 30% improvement in mood has been associated with better sleep quality and reduced anxiety levels.

3

Long-term exposure to blue light at night can disrupt circadian rhythms, potentially leading to chronic sleep disorders.
