Blue blockers

Blue blockers are a reliable way to support healthy circadian rhythms.

Strong consensus

For evening light exposure.

“RA Optics... probably have the best technology for lenses right now... block explicitly 450 to 465 nanometers... Blue Blox... TrueDark... good options”

In their own words

One faithful sentence per source, linked to the moment it was said; quiet chips mark where money is involved.

Worth discussing with your GP, especially if you take medication or are pregnant. Entrain describes what is publicly taught; it does not prescribe.

Natural light exposure

Natural light exposure is essential for healthy circadian rhythms and mood.

Strong consensus

“it's really teaching us how critical it is to get outdoors and exposed to light like you are right now”

Outdoor time

Spending time outdoors supports circadian rhythms, resilience, and mental well-being.

Strong consensus

“when you spend extended time in the back country, say camping, like under the stars or in a tent, and we're disconnected from technology, I think it takes three three nights, three nights or four nights, and when you come back, your brain has actually reset and it's become a sponge again.”

Incandescent bulb

Incandescent bulbs are a gentle, low-blue light option for home lighting, supporting circadian health.

Strong consensus

“Anywho, I buy all my incandescent bulbs from a specialist lighting shop they are the best.”
