How much do you think these things really help?

So these light bulbs are supposed to be easier on your eyes, making it easier to transition into sleep, and not being as harsh for your vision overall. I always wonder if these things really work, but I have a friend who has a pair of blue blocker glasses that she swears help keep her from having screen induced headaches (her work prompts her to be so attached to a screen). I thought these bulbs were worth trying if I didn’t have to pay for them. With people being connected to devices more and more, I imagine there will be a need for similar items unless people truly start disconnecting from technology.

I haven't tried those bulbs, but I often lower my screen display because of migraines. BTW, I ordered some magnesium glyconate to see if they help. I just didn't want to wait until the end of the month to ask my Neurologist about it, but I'll still ask her opinion.

I hope the Magnesium Glycinate helps. It seems almost everyone I know with migraines is taking it, and one friend of mine takes it before she goes to bed for sleep.

@1creekgirl That sounds like a good idea.

@AmbiePam I ordered 200mg magnesium glyconate, but it comes in two pills. I want to start at the lowest dose to see if I'll have any side effects.

I'm sure they will help. You reminded me that when I ordered my new glasses for the computer; I got them with blue Blockz on them because I'm on the computer all the time. I can tell you my eyes don't burn anymore from being on the computer as much as I am.

Really? That’s great, Valerie. I don’t think people realize what a difference those can make if you give them a chance.

@AmbiePam I forgot I ordered them that way until you mentioned the light. It makes a huge difference. I remember my eyes feeling tired and sore, burning, by the end of the day on the computer. They don't anymore. Now, I pay attention to how much my back hurts from sitting so long.

My eye glasses have blue light coated lenses, they are very good to reduce eye-strain, causing dry, irritated eyes and blurred vision.

We have that kind at home in bought 4 years ago but we didn't use it. It does not fit to the available sockets at home. I bought it at $ 15.

I don't know the answer but logically I should think it would help.

That’s what I thought too. People seem to doubt everything until it’s been around awhile.

I'm also in the position of wonder leaning more on doubt. As the wise sage says "when in doubt..." me: find out why and meanwhile, I've reduced my screen time at night as soon as I go to bed to sleep. I turn my phone power off (except last night my sister messaged me about our mom, 88 feeling unwell and she took her to ER.) And we were discussing ( and praying in betweens not messaging) with other siblings about what to do. Which, I always suggest holistic alternative ( that's what my mom does, anyway) It was a stressful night through the earling morning. Going off the rails now .. sorry.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. I’ll say a prayer for her, and your family as well.

Since we are all different and unique I imagine they help some people more than others. Just as a "happy light" helps various people.

I guess they are worth a try. I use the blue screen on the Kindle at night..because regular screens are supposed to give too much glare. I guess you like the name..

I like that aspect of the Kindle. *I’m so out of it, it took someone pointing out the name for me to realize what it said. I’ve got to do better on this sleep thing.

I've noticed that the bulbs that aren't as soft do tend to give me headaches so in my house I have those soft light dillybobs. Works for me.

I wouldn't put much stock in that--But you could try and see. They may work for you--they have your name on them, after all!

I noticed there wasn’t much of a glare, and my eyes didn’t blink from the brightness when I first woke up. It was fun to try, but I doubt I’d buy them. I wonder how many people feel the blue blocker glasses work.

I have not heard about them so I don't know, I have eyeglasses that tint with sunlight and other light so the PC is not too bright for me, I will keep these in mind when I need more bulbs, I use a lamp above my bed to read in bed,

Amber, you started a company selling bulbs? That's nice. (Just kidding) I've seen them but I don't use them. I have a yellow light that I turn on every night around 9.30 pm. All the other lights are turned off.

I haven't really thought about it, but I guess they'd be worth a try to find out.
