Dan Ebbett Well & Good with Art Green
-
- Alternative Therapien
Dan Ebbett has come a long way since the days of wearing snowboarding goggles to the movies. As the founder of BlockBlueLight glasses, he’s a pioneer into the effects of devices, technology and light on sleep and health.
Dan developed his range of light-blocking glasses after struggling with chronic insomnia, eye strain and migraines. He changed the game by discovering the widespread impact blue light was having for people, and developing glasses that were focused on effectiveness rather than appearance.
This is one of those under-appreciated health areas that a surprisingly large number of people struggle with.
Dan and Art talk through:
Dan’s personal journey with discovering blue light glasses, and how quickly they worked for him
What blue light is and how it affects people
The impact of device settings and “dark mode” - whether they actually do anything
The physiological impacts of taking in blue light at night, and how it prevents sleep by impacting hormones
How the sun gives off different light frequencies, and how the brain interprets them to know what time of day it is
How to wear blue light blocking glasses, and why you shouldn't wear them all the time
How the skin has its own circadian rhythm, and what that means for controlling lights inside at night
Why good blue blocking glasses shouldn’t have clear lenses
Light control apps
The effect of windows and clouds on light absorption
Take home tips for controlling the effect of light in your everyday life
Indicators you’re struggling with the effects of blue light, including stress and anxiety
Red light therapy - what it is, what the benefits are (including red light saunas)
(Disclaimer about the sound - sorry about the weird background noises in this one, turns out that a leaf blower waits for no one!)
