Improve Sleep

This Fashion Friday features these fabulous Pixel Eyewear designed to block 50% of blue light and up to 95% at the strongest wavelengths without the weird orange/ yellow tint.  I’ve been using them for about a month and I can’t say enough great things about them. I wear them when I’m staring at the screen for work and anytime I’m on my phone, computer, or even watching tv after the sun goes down. Even if I forget, after a few minutes of staring at the screen, my mind automatically sends me a message to get them as I notice the eye strain quickly. Having blue eyes, I am extra sensitive to light and these have definitely helped. They are also light and comfortable. I wore them out to the pool last weekend after doing some computer work without even noticing they were still on. 

An average person spends 10+ hours a day staring at a screen. That is insane but sadly probably accurate especially those with desk/ computer jobs. 

I also wanted to improve my ability to fall asleep quicker and deeper at night. Sleep is one of the most powerful and underrated things we can do for optimal health. For every hour of screen time at night adds an extra 30 minutes of time needed before your body can fall into a deep sleep and nighttime hormones start to activate (especially melatonin). These Pixel Eyewear lenses filter blue light which regulates our circadian rhythm by influencing the production of melatonin in our body. If you have been thinking about getting a pair, I would say do it! You won’t be disappointed. Cheers to better sleep! #vivbuzz
