The light coming off your phone and laptop is concentrated in the blue wavelengths. Those are the same wavelengths the sun peaks in at midday.
Your circadian system reads blue light as sun. Your melatonin production is suppressed accordingly — by up to 50% on a typical 90-minute evening screen session.
What that costs you
- Delayed sleep onset
- Reduced sleep depth
- Fewer slow-wave (recovery) cycles
- Shifted circadian timing the next morning
The hierarchy of fixes
Best: no screens 60+ minutes before bed.
Good: night mode + lowered brightness + screen at arm's length.
Acceptable: blue-light blocking glasses for evening screen exposure.
Important: support the body's own wind-down with calming compounds and a consistent pre-bed ritual.
