I normally don't have a problem going to sleep at night, I tend to be more of a morning person, but it can be really hard to fall asleep if I'm messing around on the phone or laptop right before bed. <br />Danielle L Zecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492742250595537348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-75796113732719023712017-12-16T11:53:41.222-07:002017-12-16T11:53:41.222-07:00Now that is interesting - I mean it's interest...Now that is interesting - I mean it's interesting if a morning person could be impacted by this stuff too.

I'm not sure how comfortable they would be, but they might come in handy for times when you needed light in a room that didn't have the special bulbs.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-27918630277149628052017-12-14T13:15:37.570-07:002017-12-14T13:15:37.570-07:00I am a total lark (5am!) so I don’t usually need h...I am a total lark (5am!) so I don’t usually need help to go to sleep!

I was skeptical, thinking it sounded pretty gimmicky, but maybe it's real. I would think your approach, of applying filters to the light sources, would be more effective than most standard eye glasses, since light can still get in around the edges.Melissa | HerGreenLifehttp://hergreenlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-91944537172643069832017-12-13T11:12:02.404-07:002017-12-13T11:12:02.404-07:00Oh, and here's a link to the light bulbs.

But my husband definitely does! He struggled for years trying to make it to work on time and switched to a later shift because he was late so often. He'll also stay up till 4 am watching TV and playing video games because he's "not tired." I'm going to investigate and see if I can change the settings on the TV and get a new bulb for the living room lamp! Thank you!<br /><br />And I'm so happy that this is working for you! Daylight is so important, especially during the winter.
