Blue Light From LED Bulbs and Devices Affect Your Sleep

Exposure to blue light waves from LED lights and electronic screens during the sensitive period, before bed, can make it difficult to fall asleep at night or wake you up too early.⁰ All artificial light, including LEDs, fluorescent bulbs, and incandescent bulbs, can interrupt normal sleep patterns.¹ Blue light from LEDs suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that promotes feelings of sleepiness.² Constantly basking in light, whether from light bulbs or electronic devices, can throw off our body clock, resulting in poor sleep.³ The human eye is particularly sensitive to blue light, so the blue light often created by LEDs can have a powerfully negative impact at night.⁴ Reddish or orangish lights are the least likely to suppress melatonin production and interfere with sleep.⁵
