“Blue Light Effects” explores the growing concern of blue light exposure from digital devices and artificial lighting and its impact on health.
The book reveals how this pervasive environmental factor affects sleep, vision, and overall well-being, focusing on the disruption of circadian rhythms—our natural sleep-wake cycles.
You'll discover how excessive exposure, especially in the evening, can lead to sleep disorders and eye strain. The book uniquely consolidates evidence-based research, offering practical strategies for mitigating adverse effects beyond simple product recommendations.
Beginning with an overview of light and the human visual system, the book progresses to discuss circadian rhythms and the specific health issues linked to blue light, such as age-related macular degeneration.
Drawing from ophthalmology, sleep medicine, and public health, it provides a nuanced understanding of how screen time influences our biology.
By adjusting screen settings, using blue light-filtering glasses, and optimizing lighting, you can take proactive steps toward better health.
