Let's face it -- screens have become an inseparable part of our daily lives.
Gone are the days when "reading" meant flipping through the pages of a paperback. Today's reading involves smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and computer screens. This means your eyes are constantly exposed to the artificial blue light these screens emit.
Over time, prolonged exposure leads to symptoms like persistent headaches, dry eyes, and restless nights.
This is beneficial during daylight hours because it boosts our mood, sharpens our focus, and keeps us productive.
The problem arises when blue light exposure continues after sunset. At night, your body needs to produce melatonin, the hormone responsible for helping you fall asleep. Unfortunately, blue light disrupts this process by tricking your brain into thinking it's still daytime.
