A just released Israeli study showed that a high breast cancer rate is associated with exposure to light at night. The blue rays in light suppress melatonin. Melatonin suppression is thought to be the link between light exposure and breast cancer. (PRWeb Mar 2, 2008)

University scientists have developed special glasses that block the blue rays that cause a delay in the start of the flow of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Putting on the glasses a couple of hours ahead of bedtime eliminates this delay thereby advancing the circadian rhythm. (PRWeb Feb 8, 2007)

This hormone promotes sleep and is a powerful cancer fighter. Light bulbs and glasses that block the damaging blue light offer a solution to the problem. (PRWeb Jan 15, 2007)

They allow mothers to keep making melatonin when they get up at night to care for their baby. This prevents disrupting their circadian cycle. Many studies show that disruption of the circadian cycle can lead to depression. . (PRWeb Dec 18, 2006)

By advancing the circadian cycle by wearing blue-blocking glasses in the early evening, the melatonin cycle may be made to finish before the individual awakens. With melatonin gone, the patient feels awake and not depressed. (PRWeb Sep 18, 2006)

Wearing glasses that block the melatonin-suppressing-light allows normal flow that may cut the risk in half or better. Normal evening activities can go on. Better sleep is a bonus.

This is accomplished by wearing eyeglasses for a few hours before bedtime. It sounds far fetched, but is based on the discovery that sleep deprivation and obesity go together. The glasses allow melatonin (the sleep hormone) to flow in advance of going to bed. Sleep comes more quickly and deeply. (PRWeb May 26, 2006)

Colored Glasses Cure Insomnia http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/03/prweb361819.htm The blue rays from artificial light stop production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. The cure is wearing glasses for a few hours before bedtime that block the damaging rays. Lots of melatonin becomes available by bedtime, so sleep comes quickly. (PRWeb Mar 23, 2006)

The body can only make melatonin when in the dark. For most people this is 6 or 7 hours a night. It’s the blue component of light that causes melatonin suppression. Glasses that block blue light worn a few hours before bedtime allow melatonin to flow for 9 or 10 hours. (PRWeb Mar 8, 2006)

Exposing the eyes to the blue component in light suppresses melatonin. A typical mother may only be in darkness a few hours and make very little melatonin. Wearing glasses that block the blue light or using blue-blocking light bulbs may allow her to make more melatonin that will help both the baby and her sleep better. (PRWeb Feb 20, 2006)
