Blue‐blocking glasses as additive treatment for mania: a randomized placebo‐controlled trial
Blue‐blocking glasses as additive treatment for mania: a randomized placebo‐controlled trial

Increased exposure to Blue Light, from TVs, Mobiles, Tablets and PCs is starting arise in the literature as a contributing factor to ill health. Mainly, mental health. This study concludes that Blue Light Blocking glasses are effective and feasible as add‐on treatment for bipolar mania.

Results


From February 2012 to February 2015, 32 patients were enrolled. Eight patients dropped out and one was excluded, resulting in 12 patients in the BB group and 11 patients in the placebo group. The mean decline in YMRS score was 14.1 [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.7–18.5] in the BB group, and 1.7 (95% CI: −4.0 to 7.4) in the placebo group, yielding an effect size of 1.86 (Cohen's d). In the BB group, one patient reported headache and two patients experienced easily reversible depressive symptoms.

Blue Blocking glasses are also praised for their ability to help naturally align the body with the sun and circadian rhythms. Studies:

I have personally found that Blue Light Blocking Glasses have had a tremendous effect at regulating my sleep patterns and helping to reduce insomnia or late onset sleeping disorders. I’ve also mentioned this to many others who report similar effects.

The product we recommend is SleepWell.

Thanks for this @ShirtTieFitness . Following this post, I went ahead and purchased from the SleepBest glasses from that store. They're surprisingly comfortable and have been a real game-changer for me with sleep. I've been falling asleep twice as quick as my mind hasn't been racing like normal. As I'm getting more sleep my energy and mood has been on the rise; perhaps this is how blocking blue light can improve mood through its in-direct aid in improving sleep.
Great find.
