Melatonin, Sleep, and Blue Light

There's more than meets the eye when it comes to artificial lighting...

So the audio quality = horror, and the narration has some sloppy mistakes (ie; should be "gas lamps" on streets not "oil")....but other than that, how is it? Does the narration sound too smarmy?

interesting video.. for clarification, are you advocating the use of blue lights as a tool to 'wakefulness' (or whathaveyou), or are you saying that the suppression of melatonin that occurs is negative? or are you just stating that it occurs, and is not a negative effect

@uptownjesus9 I detail many of the negative consequences of melatonin suppression via blue light exposure in the video. Blue light does indeed promote wakefulness, and may be useful as means by which to reset circadian clocks and improve physiological and psychological well-being during the day time. However, continued exposure towards the end of the circadian cycle disrupts natural melatonin production which may have a cascade of harmful consequences in the body.

@uptownjesus9 ...to be clear, I am not advocating anything per se; any decisions about your health should be made in consultation with a health care professional. However, in a nutshell- blue light during the day = good, blue light during the evening = bad.
