Red light holds a lot of benefits and protects the organism from stress associated with darkness.
However, certain concentrations of secreted melatonin promote a healthful wake-sleep cycle; insufficient melatonin during evenings causes insomnia, which leads to late sleep onset, early rising for most working people, and the cycle continues.

Wearing these glasses protects the retina from blue light, which blocks melatonin formation.
However, there exists the question of peripheral exposure to blue light and its impact on melatonin; in other words, does shining blue/red light on your skin block the formation of melatonin?
Haidut recommends ceasing the use of red light at around 7 PM to allow for melatonin production, but can a similar effect be achieved by wearing these glasses and continuing to shine the light on one's body?
