Blue blockers for late in the evening: amber and orange-lens glasses

Blue blockers are glasses with amber or orange lenses, and with them timing matters. Wearing blue blockers throughout the day is the exact wrong thing: they should be reserved for late in the evening, because light suppresses melatonin. So take those blue blockers off during the day unless you have a real issue with screen light sensitivity. And if you wake up in the middle of the night and end up watching TV or on the computer, you might wanna wear blue blockers and dim the screen too. The blue light blocking glasses here have amber or orange lenses and are sold for evening and night-time wear.
