Thank you Running Deer🥰

I have bought some cheap night driving glasses on ebay (£6.99) and they turned up the other day.

Absolute game changer!!!
It makes all the headlights look like the yellow flavour from years ago, takes the glare off the rear red lights in front and dimms the nasty street lights.
As a result its easier to see the road markings, and it dims down the nasty lights in the mirrors too.

Highly recommended!!!
Ordered a bunch for xmas gifts..

Yay, meat suit.
Thanks for the feed back. I love the Christmas gift idea.
BlockBlueLight.com has a sitewide 25% off with the exception of the Red Light panels .

I added it here because Dr. Jack Kruse came up @1:43:52.

Thanks for sharing this RunningDeer. I look forward to watching it. I don't recall where, but there was definitely a podcast where Jack Kruse also brought up Mr McKernan, recommending to follow him on Twitter because he was sharing evidence that SV40 was in the Covid shots.

You’re welcome, ClearWater.

Jack Kruse came up more than expected. I wouldn’t blame folks if they pass on a two and a half hour podcast. Initially I clicked on the topics that were of interest. I ended up listening to the entire episode.

Kevin McKernan is informed and doesn’t get lost in the weeds. He acknowledges others' accomplishments and expertise. He’s forthright with his opinion and has the ability to reach everyone.

I wanted to add that you can buy the blue blocking light in prescription lenses from Zenni. They also have the night driving lenses (honestly, I did not research if they are the same. You can buy frames for as little 6.95 USD.) Thanks for the beautiful way you outline a longer topic for us, Miss RD. You are so dearly appreciated and loved on so many levels!!!

Oh great! and thanks, Casey Claar.

I've expanded my research on the circadian rhythm, blue light research, importance of quality sleep and diet changes. I'm coming across a lot of people wearing the glasses on their show and reference Jack Kruse.

Dr. Glen Jeffery is another one promoting red light therapy, the importance of sunlight and how it improves mitochondrial function and quality life span.

A few paraphrased snippet from Dr. Glen Jeffery's videos:

• Go for a walk every day for an hour. There’ a loads of metrics happening: using muscles, getting red light helping our mitochondria, burning our blood glucose. That massive blood glucose won't peak in the same way because you're burning that energy in your muscles. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”

• The body is actually saying to wake up, get out into sunlight, move your ATP to match the changes that are happening in your blood glucose and the hormonal changes that you go through during the first few hours of daylight. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”
  
  
• Why red light in the morning is extremely beneficial vs not much happens with red light therapy 5:00 pm. In the morning you're in a very, very different metabolic state. Your hormones are different. Your blood sugars, mitochondria and ATP are peaking. From: “Amazing Effect of Red Light on Metabolic Health & Mitochondria | Glen Jeffery, PhD”

• Is blue light all bad? It deactivates mitochondria, makes you fat. LED lighting is very strong in blue and no red in it at all. And when you're sitting in a place that's very hot, nearly all your windows are red blocking and you're getting lots of blue light, i.e., you're getting no red light, no long wavelength light in through the windows.
  
  If we take a look at the astronauts on the international space station they've got harsh LEDs. All of their windows face the Earth and not the sun. They're up there for months and many of them are becoming pre-diabetic. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”

• Folks treated with burst of red-light for 3 minutes several times a week will walk down the road better than those without. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”

• Bees are affected by insecticides and destroying their mitochondria. We gave red light to bees as well as giving them pesticide. The key point is the total lifespan of the animal did not increase. What did happen was the average life expectancy increase very significantly. Those that got bursts of red light had a better health span. We asked them to climb up walls and could do that far more efficiently because muscles have got a lot of mitochondria. So no overall extension in absolute lifespan, but a very significant extension in average life. From: “Power Up Your Mitochondria With Red Light Therapy | Dr Glen Jeffery Interview”

• She took a whole group of mice and expose them to blue light every day. Blue light slows down your mitochondria and influences your metabolism. (450) There are loads of 450 in our environment. The control group stay relatively stable whereas the mice exposed to blue light, their metabolism slowed down and their mitochondria slowed down. The mitochondria are not drawing sugars out of their blood, so the sugars are running around in the body and says "take me to storage". Let's save this (sugars) for a rainy day. Consequences? They put on a very large amount of weight 9 days. These animals are three times heavier. They look absolutely awful. It's the mixture between blue and red in an environment. The mitochondria are in an equilibrium when there’s a correct balance of blue and red. From: “Glen Jeffery explains the Science behind Mitochondrial Infra-Red (MIR)”

There are a couple of thank yous and much appreciations in there, Pam.

It’s a challenge to know which companies offer quality blue block glasses. I’ll add two reposts for new people to the thread.

Not all Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Created Equal,
Which Blue Light Glasses Are The Best?

The Truth About Clear Lens Blue Light “Blockers”

Here’s the truth about clear lens blue light blocking glasses that help you fall asleep—there is no such thing! Clear lenses do not block the kind of light that keeps you from falling asleep. These should not be called blue blocking glasses at all as they only filter blue light, not block it. To truly block blue light it requires colored lenses to fully block its light waves. Clear lens blue light "blockers" have nothing to do with keeping insomnia inducing blue light from reaching your eyes, no matter what the companies say. It’s about science, and the science of light waves prevents clear lenses from blocking all blue light that interferes with melatonin release. Period. 

What these clear lens blue light “blockers” do is filter the blue light, mainly to prevent eyestrain. Their lenses do not filter out the blue light that prevents you from falling asleep. To filter out that wavelength of blue light, the lenses would have to be colored lenses, preferably amber or red. The true name for these type of daytime glasses is computer glasses or blue light filter glasses.

Some companies go to great lengths to try to prove that their clear glasses block blue light by using light demonstrations from a pen or screen. The light source in these demonstrations only emits a different wavelength of light, usually violet. This light is not the same light present in most artificial lighting and LEDs. These companies are deliberately misleading the public and misusing science. Do your homework when purchasing blue light blockers.


Cheap and Ineffective Blue Light Filter Glasses

Our BlockBlueLight ScreenTime computer glasses filter 50% of blue light across the entire blue light spectrum, making them far superior to less expensive glasses. Due to the rise in popularity for blocking blue light there are now many companies in the market offering inexpensive clear lens blue light glasses. However these glasses are useless and a waste of money. Most of these cheap glasses only filter 10-20% of blue light and do not help to manage sleep or protect eyesight in any significant way.

During the day its important for us to significantly reduce our blue light exposure, but not block it completely. As mentioned earlier moderate levels blue light during the day is important for health and keeping us awake and alert, however the levels we are consuming is far to high and completely unbalanced with the rest of the colour spectrum. We need to filter blue light across the entire spectrum by about 50% to bring this more into balance, this is the most effective amount to filter by during the day; filtering anymore will leave you feeling tired and unmotivated and start to tell your brain its nighttime,  and filtering any less will give you headaches, eye strain and leave you feeling anxious. 

Optometrists may even offer blue light "blocking " coating on prescription lenses. Unfortunately, the extra cost for this coating is unwarranted and ineffective. Most optometrists may offer the coating, but don’t know any specifics about what range and percentage of blue light the layer might block. The fact is, the coatings do not block blue light from the entire blue light spectrum or the part of the spectrum the matters the most.

Many blue light filter glasses claim to block a large percentage of blue light. However, the range of blue light they filter matters greatly. For example, most electronic devices emit light at their most potent wavelengths of about 440-460 nanometers. A majority of cheaper clear blue light blocking glasses and coatings only filter blue light in the 380-420 nanometer range. This limitation in range means light from electronic devices (at 440-460 nanometers) are allowed to pass through, making the glasses useless.

All blue light, which includes sunlight, LEDs, and other electronic devices, are within the wide range of 400 to 500 nanometers. For blue light filtering glasses to be truly useful, they must filter blue light over the entire blue light range. BlockBlueLight lenses from our daytime range filter blue light over the whole 400 to 500 nanometer blue light spectrum. More specifically they filter 50% of blue light at 455 nanometers, this is where the most energetic, damaging light emitted from screens, LED’s, and other modern artificial lighting. The majority of other blue light filter glasses available will filter 0% at 455nm.

One other shaved down post:

I mentioned earlier how I wasted money on a pair of cheapo blue block glasses from Amazon, which included a blue block test kit to prove they block the blue light. It wasn’t until my new glasses arrived that I discovered how true this statement is: “You get what you pay for. I had the new 100% blue blocking glasses on and couldn’t see the time on the digital clock because the numbers were blue.

These are some photos I took this evening to demonstrate the difference:

Compare my DayMax glasses on the left with the Amazon glasses on the right. Alas, it's hard to see, but in real time the DayMax are a different color blue because they eliminates 100% of the harmful blue light, hence a change in blue. Whereas there's no change in color for the Amazon glasses.

DayMax Glasses provide MAXIMUM protection against blue light during the day by eliminating 100% of the harmful blue light emitted from screens, devices, and lighting, while still allowing all the essential beneficial light though responsible for positive mood, energy, and focus.

My Night Glasses

NightFall Blue Blocking Glasses feature our signature blue AND green light blocking red lens. These are the most optimal blue light blocking glasses available for optimising sleep and balancing hormones...

Our optical grade red lenses block 100% of blue and green light from 400nm to 550nm. This is the exact range that has been shown in clinical trials to lower melatonin and negatively impact our sleep.

Chart: Lens Comparison Summary at the bottom of the page is a helpful comparison.

I have glasses on order as well. I ordered readers which take a bit longer, but reading is part of my 'wind down' process before sleeping and it should be helpful to be able to wear the nighttime glasses and read.

Also, at the risk of oversaturating and/or diluting the info shared in this thread, I found this video helpful in better understanding some of what Dr Kruse talks about regarding light. It's more of a High School level explanation, which I appreciated. There are time stamps to help find specific areas of interest. There's a summary in the last 3 minutes:
- Get as much natural sunlight as possible (and get it as early in the day after you wake up as possible).
- Get exposure to low level red light around sunset time.
- Avoid all light exposure after sunset (particularly blue light), and especially within the last 2 hours before sleeping

This stuff ^ is pretty basic and understood by everyone who's following this thread I'm sure, but as mentioned, I found the explanations helpful. There's also a fair amount of feedback on what can be done practically in this modern world if/when a person can't strictly adhere to those 3 recommendations above.

IIRC TrumanCash is considering their Fitover & Clip-on Blue Light Glasses. I'm considering it too because there’s a 25% off sale.
UPDATE: Clip-ons are heading my way.

I bought the day blue light blocking glasses but i dont like wearing them. I dont like wearing glasses all the time as I feel they come between my eyes and them directly receiving sunlight unimpeded. I did buy the red light lamp which is a great design and can clip on to anything

leavesoftrees, the easy to move, clip on lamp is a great cost effective solution.

"Blue light glasses filter the harmful wavelengths of blue light and deliver a balanced spectrum to your eyes.”

The computer/gaming daytime glasses are designed to block out the blue light when you use screens such as iPhone, TV, tablets, gaming tech. Also LEDs and florescent lighting excessively emit blue light. You can replace them with natural spectrum bulbs.

You don’t wear the blue light glasses or sunglasses outside if you want to get the full, natural spectrum of light.

Re: Contact Lenses | Prescription Glasses

Don’t wear them when you’re soaking up sun.
It’s like the open window VS closed window.

I’m about half way through the video provided by ClearWater: “Sunlight: Optimize Health and Immunity (Light Therapy and Melatonin)". The format is ideal with Q&A, diagrams and bullet point slides and summaries along the way.

Before too much time passed, I want to update or add to the earlier information from Dr. Jack Kruse. He stated not to wear sunglasses, prescription glasses or contacts while soaking in the natural sunlight. It was to an interviewer that wore prescription glasses.

I’ve listened to about 7-9 other speakers and none of them brought up the topic. Whereas, Dr. Roger Seheult says and posted a slide: “Glasses/contacts do not interfere”.

If I recall correctly (and I could possibly be remembering incorrectly), Dr Kruse is against wearing contacts because it prevents the eye from being exposed to oxygen. I don't recall if he went into detail about this, or which video it was in (unfortunately).

I may have missed that part or that video, ClearWater. I don’t recall Dr. Jack saying exposed to oxygen, but I did find the one about no glasses which begins @ 23:29.

Transcribed:

Joe Cohen: I’ve thought about doing this like wearing red glasses in the daytime but the problem is I was always afraid that I'm going to ruin my circadian rhythm because you need blue light in the daytime to set those clock genes.

Dr. Jack Kruse: You only need the blue light in the beginning of the morning. That’s if you are following the lepin prescription. What does it tell you to do? As soon as you wake up, you go outside, not behind glass, not behind those glasses you're wearing, and let the sunlight hit your retina for about one to three minutes. What does that do? It tells your brain the sun just rose. After that it becomes an endogenous clock. It doesn't need constant…ah…it’s a one time effect. But soon as you wake up within 30 minutes, you need to get outside, naked and let the sun hit you.

I do recall now - the reference to contacts was in the discussion he had with Andrew Huberman on Rick Rubin's Youtube channel. It was brought up because Dr Kruse disagreed with Mr Huberman's advice on wearing contacts in one of his podcast episodes and had apparently replied to him on Twitter expressing that opinion rather aggressively, so they briefly touched on that disagreement. Wish I could offer more detail about where it was specifically, because it was a LONG discussion - about 6.5 hours over the 2 videos.

I downloaded those vids but never got to them. The passage is @ 3:27:45 ish.

I found this in a summary for Part One: Contacts and glasses can interfere with the eye’s ability to absorb oxygen and produce UV light, potentially exacerbating these issues.

Transcript:

Kruse: I’m mad at you when you told people, "I don't worry about glasses. Don’t worry about contacts. "

Huberman: All correct for the record for sure but I wanna make sure that I get it right. So contacts makes perfect sense to me based on the oxygenation issue.

Kruse: You don't want to cap the front of the eye. Because the cornea is translucent. It has no blood vessels in it. So how does it get oxygen? Straight from the air.

Huberman So you don't want to cover it in a plastic bag. (?)

Kruse: When you cover oxygen what do you do? We narrowed the wide band semiconductor so it can't make enough UV light distal in the system. That's the real answer. Changing oxygen tension...

What I figured out is when you unsubscribe from their emails, they’ll honor your request and send along a 15% discount in case you’ve forgotten something. So my last couple of items were with the discount. I considered the natural spectrum light bulb with winter coming and all, but I decided to purchase the Full Spectrum Lamp because I can move it where I need to rather than move a bulb from one room to the next. (It's oo costly to replace all the bulbs.)

So, miraculously my Nightfall Glasses arrived only 5 days after placing my order!! No customs delays or additional fees, YAY! 😀🙏 I did have 10% discount because I had signed up for the newsletter - funny that they would give you even more for UN-subscribing, haha

I had expected the shipment to take much longer, so I had ordered cheap 'computer glasses' off of Amazon in the meantime: These had pretty good reviews and only cost a fourth of the price of the blockbluelight-Nightfall glasses, so I figured I could use them during the day when I'm reading or writing on the screen. They are orange-colored (darker than amber, but not red like the Nightfall glasses). Apparently they block most of the blue light, but none of the green, whereas the red Nightfall glasses are said to block all the blue light plus most of the green. I've made a few tests to compare them both - see pictures below.

My experience with the blockbluelight-Nightfall Glasses so far:

The first week I wore the red Nightfall glasses religiously every night, from after sunset until I went to sleep. I was in a phase where I was really struggling with sleep and low energy levels, and I'm also trying to get off various substances that I need to get by (like taking melatonin at night to be able to fall asleep, or taking Kratom during the day to get energy).

The first few days I noticed something interesting: almost like increased irritability at night, not feeling better but more like feeling worse. Could this have been "screen-dopamine" withdrawal? Not sure, it could also have been because I had been sleeping so badly. 🤔
I didn't immediately notice any improvements after that first week, so I relaxed my religious wearing habits a bit.
The recent nights have been better, and I've started to reduce melatonin intake to half the amount - so I'm moving in the right direction! 😀 (I also started using a special 8Hz Sound Meditation before sleep, which does some magical relaxing things to my brain that seem to help as well)

Also, I placed another order with blockbluelight (took advantage of the 25% BlackFriday discount!) - the full spectrum lamp plus one full spectrum light bulb are now on the way... 😊

Ok, now to the tests, comparing the red blockbluelight-Nightfall Glasses with the cheap orange computer glasses:

First I looked for a blue light, like the digital clock RunningDeer showed:




This is how blue things look on my computer screen:
(the way it looks on the photos is pretty similar to what my eyes see)




Then I got the idea to look for websites that have specific tests for blue light blockers,
and the first two sites have the same test and both explain and show how the cyan circle should blend in with the green circle:
For a good test result, the blue circle should become dark gray, and the cyan color blends in with the green circle."




Different website, same test: this time they have a photo of what it should look like, how the green should be blended with the cyan (the right hand photo is from their website, not by me):




But with both my glasses the circles are not entirely blended together - in the photos it looks more blended than in real life.




And then I found tests directly on the blockbluelight-Website...
(I'll make a second post because I have reached the attachment limit)

[QueenRia]

So these two tests are from the blockbluelight-Website, and the second one is quite interesting because it's the same test as the other websites, only here they don't say anything about the blending of the cyan and green - I'm wondering whether the blending thing is screen dependent, or glasses-dependent? 🤔

Anyway, based on these tests, the cheap glasses do seem to be good enough to use them during the day for computer tasks, so I don't have to be sad I couldn't get the expensive blockbluelight-Computer Glasses. 😊

Thanks for the updates, QueenRia.

I suspect the body/mind will throw a tantrum for undoing what's been doing for years.

the cheap glasses do seem to be good enough to use them during the day

If good enough works that makes it a two thumbs up.

My goal is to block 100% of the blue and green spikes that effect the sleep cycle. Those wavelengths bring cortisol back online and shuts down melatonin (sleep hormone) production. Poor sleep creates a host of problems including a dopamine imbalances which causes physical and behavioral changes/addictions.
