Product Description

TrueDark Twilights glasses are like noise-cancelling headphones for your eyes! Not all light is created equal and the wrong lighting at the wrong time of day can ruin your sleep, performance and health.

Patent-pending TrueDark Twilights glasses are the FIRST and ONLY glasses designed specifically with multi-layer optical filters that block ALL of the sleep and performance robbing wavelengths in the evening hours. #StopJunkLight with TrueDark Twilights technology that frees your hormones and neurotransmitters to do their best work.

Your eyes have special cells filled with a very light-sensitive protein called melanopsin. These cells signal to your brain that it’s daytime when they are exposed to certain wavelengths of light. This causes your brain to stop producing hormones, such as melatonin, that are essential to having a restful and productive night of sleep.

Traditional blue blockers are good at filtering out blue light, but it’s not only blue light that affects your sleep. Spectrums between the colors of yellow and purple can interfere with the melanopsin in your eyes and make it very hard to fall asleep properly. This is why staring at a computer screen or phone before bed can interfere with your sleep!

Twilights glasses feature a wrap-around sport frame with comfortable foam padding around the eyes to help prevent extra light from seeping into the sides and top. They allow you to see, read, watch TV and do other household activities while simultaneously tricking your brain into thinking it’s completely dark. This causes your brain to start getting ready for bed, which can help you fall asleep faster and have a more rejuvenating and productive night’s rest. They are great for treating jet lag, too!

This product is for indoor use only.

How is TrueDark Blue Light Blocking Eyewear Different?

Old-school orange blue blockers block too much blue spectrum during the day. This messes up your circadian rhythm throughout the day as they put your SCN in a permanent state of twilight. If used constantly over time, it can actually reform your brain. (The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus/SCN helps to control the body’s sleep-wake cycle and other daily fluctuations)

At night, they are only blocking the blue spectrum, which is a good start, but it’s only half of the solution. To get your best night’s sleep, you need to block at least 90% of the wavelengths in the range of 495-570nm. You want your sleep glasses to block all the blue and green spectrum, so your SCN thinks it’s nighttime and your melanopsin will tell your body to make melatonin. If you want to keep watching TV or spending time on your tablet, choose patent-pending Twilights! that will block all blue and green so your brain is in sleep mode when it comes time for your body to hit the pillow.

TrueDark vs. Junk Light and Jet Lag

TrueDark Twilights are the night time solution for protecting your eyes and preserving your circadian rhythm – otherwise known as your internal clock – after the sun goes down.

Essentially, Twilights glasses completely block out all of the sleep-stealing blue, green and purple light wavelengths that are in your environment. As a result, your body is synchronized with the darkness and understands that it’s time to rest soon. Your mind is able to reach a relaxed alpha state so that you can get restorative and restful sleep. When you’re on a plane, whether you’re traveling for work or pleasure, it’s important that your body proactively maintains its circadian rhythm so that you’re fully functional by the time you land at your destination.

TrueDark Twilights FAQ’s

How Does TrueDark Twilights Technology Work?

TrueDark Twilights prevent your melanopsin cells from detecting the wrong wavelengths of light at the wrong time of day. In other words, it protects your melanopsin from the entire light spectrum that negatively impacts your biological clock — including blue, green and purple light. Wear TrueDark Twilights for 30+ minutes before going to bed to help your mind and body reach an alpha state and fall asleep with ease.

TrueDark Twilight glasses block at least 90% of the wavelengths below 570Nm and – basically all blue, green and violet. We block the broadest spectrum on the market! Melanopsin, which is required for melatonin production, is very sensitive to green and violet, as well as blue. We created Twilights glasses because the “blue blocking glasses” advertised throughout the internet were limited to blocking only blue, making them insufficient as sleep or sleep hacking glasses.

What is Junk Light and How Does it Affect My Health?

Deep, restful sleep is essential for allowing your mind and body to heal, recuperate, and recover from the stress and exhaustion of the day.

Junk light impacts photoreceptor cells in your eyes, and suppresses the natural production of of the sleep hormone, melatonin, which throws off our body’s internal clock, disrupting our ability to sleep deeply and restfully. Junk light also emits a unique glare that impacts your retina causing eye strain, headaches, and physical and mental fatigue.

Junk light may contribute to and, or be linked to many chronic health conditions, including but not limited to:

Eye strainHeadachesShort-term memory lossProblems sleeping, due to melatonin suppressionStress and anxiety, due to cortisol suppressionSymptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder or depressionEndocrine disruption and a poor immune systemFemale hormonal/menstrual cycle disruptionWeight issuesAgoraphobia (anxiety disorder)

What are Other Benefits from Wearing TrueDark Eyewear?

When you don’t get the proper amount of sleep at night, you become susceptible to health issues, including but not limited to: macular degeneration, other vision and health problems. #StopJunkLight with TrueDark Twilight technology and free your hormones and neurotransmitters to:

Improve sleep quality – maximize control of your circadian rhythm. Your body doesn’t signal melatonin if your melanopsin-infused sensors are seeing daytime colors. Note that common blue blockers don’t cover the wavelengths that impact melanopsin.Reduce brain inflammation – increased melatonin release = lower brain inflammation.Support weight loss – Leptin is a light sensitive hormone that peaks at night and signals to our brains how much fat storage we have. Red light and darkness move leptin levels into patterns associated with less hunger.Increase energy and focus – Better sleep and less eye strain result in more energy.
