BLUE LIGHT.
What’s that all about?
Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum which is responsible for keeping you alert. While it’s naturally present in sunlight, it’s also found in the light emitted from your iPad screen. And it’s not always a good thing.
Some exposure to blue light is necessary — it penetrates your retinas, giving your brain a morning cue to wake up and seize the day. However, too much screen time can have a negative impact on our health and wellbeing, causing headaches, eye strain and fatigue, just to name a few.
Blue light also restricts the production of melatonin (a chemical that helps us sleep) which disrupts your natural sleep cycle and causes you to feel lethargic, irritable and unproductive. Not what anyone needs to function daily!
