Blue-Blocker Glasses — Evening
Amber glasses that block 470–500 nm in the last 90 minutes before bed preserve evening melatonin when room lighting cannot be dimmed.
Wear amber-tinted glasses that block 470–500 nm wavelengths during the last 90 minutes before bed to preserve evening melatonin when room lighting cannot be dimmed. It is cheaper and less disruptive than rewiring every light, useful when you are working late.

Transcript & sources → All videosMr. Age is AgeGen's editorial character. Facts come from the protocol above.
The protocol
- Spec: glasses that block 470–500 nm.
- Timing: last 90 min before bed.
- Frequency: as needed when bright evening light is unavoidable.
What you get
- Preserved evening melatonin.
- Easier sleep onset.
Contraindications
- None — well-tolerated.
Evidence level
Medium. There is reasonable supporting evidence that blocking short-wavelength light in the evening protects melatonin and supports sleep onset; results vary by lens quality and individual.
The amber pair I wear stays on the desk, so it's already there when the evening runs long.
Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses
Amber or red-tinted glasses worn in the hours before bed to cut the evening blue light that can delay your body's melatonin release.
