Blue Light Evening Exposure Reference
How your evening screen time may delay sleep — the melatonin-suppression context, stated honestly.
Bright light at night — blue-rich especially — suppresses melatonin and shifts the body clock later (Chang's Harvard study found e-readers delayed sleep ~10 min and dulled next-morning alertness). But the honest nuance: *brightness and timing* matter more than the colour, and blue-blocking glasses show disappointing sleep results in trials. Dimming the screen and stopping earlier beats any filter or gadget.
