ANECDOTE

How Testing Glasses Launched BON CHARGE

Andy Mant solved his sleep by testing blue-blocking lenses and having an optics lab verify blocking the melatonin-disrupting band fully.
After custom lenses raised his REM and deep sleep, he made 10 prototypes, shared them with influencers, and launched BON CHARGE.

INSIGHT

Skin Photoreceptors Mean Light on Skin Matters

Melanopsin photoreceptors exist in skin as well as eyes, so ambient house lighting can affect circadian signaling even if you wear blue-blocking glasses.
Andy used that finding to develop circadian-friendly household bulbs devoid of blue/green light.

ADVICE

Wear Red Glasses In The Evening

Use red-tinted lenses 2–3 hours before bed because red blocks 100% of the 400–550nm blue/green band that suppresses melatonin.
Reserve yellow for daytime photosensitivity and clear lenses only for minor eye-strain, not sleep.
