Your phone or tablet may have a comfort mode, or a setting that you can turn on, to reduce blue light bring emitted from it. I set a schedule on my phone to enable comfort mode around 8pm or Sunset. I believe my TV has a similar feature too.
@phil coulson , I’m a bit confused from the video you posted. How does it relate to anything Dr. Mike stated about blue light affecting an individuals sleep pattern? At zero point did Dr. Mike state you must purchase “blue light protecting” glasses to save your eyes from “detrimental damage” caused by blue light. the video was to briefly inform the viewer to “perhaps” stop viewing a tv, phone, computer screen right before bed so you can actually go to sleep. The glasses were only a recommendation to a person who does look at a screen right before bed, which will assist blocking blue lights allowing a persons to fall asleep sooner. In short... did we wash the same Dr. Mike video about blue light?😅😂
@@leroylonewolf5858 The thing is people may think that buying the glasses would help and solve their blue light problem but they would neglect the digital strain part, bc in their thought the glasses are blocking the lights, so I'm just giving them more data so they would research and talk to their doctors before investing into the glasses.
LeRoy Lonewolf he did. It was his third recommendation, he even supported this recommendation with a study in which a group of individuals wore blue light blocking glasses and another group used very dim lights, and none of them showed significant changes in their melatonin levels. Actually, he EVEN promoted a company where you can buy those glasses
I work in front of a computer all day. It was recommended that I get glasses with the blue light filter when I had my eyes chkd. So I did, one unexpected side effect.....90% of my migraines WENT AWAY. Never even considered the computer as a trigger. So I love them.

As an optometrist, Dr. Mike did his research. I repeat this stuff over and over every day. I would say that his sponsor's bluelight filtering glasses are not as effective as using the programs that change the color of your screen. The reason why the glasses he put on were clear and also do not effect the wearer's color vision perception is because they don't block that much blue light. Glasses companies and optometrists want to make money off you by selling glasses when these programs and settings on your devices already do this stuff for free.
Yeah this was a disappointing departure from his usually critical and scientifically accurate information. The rest of the video was good, but to turn it into an ad for glasses with no good evidence of efficacy has me worried he is going to go like all the other famous American doctors.

@@rani5083 the ones that block a significant amount, which are therefore no longer clear... more yellowish, do help with circadian rhythm and falling asleep faster, just as Dr. Mike mentioned.

Some people believe they help with eye strain, its probably a placebo effect, but it doesn't harm you.
You forgot to mention that many devices have a 'night light' feature where you reduce the amount of blue light and turn it more into the red light zone. (Chronic sleep issues - had to learn this to get my sleep patterns optimal to help counter other sleep issues created from Fibromyalgia)
Recommendation to people who use computers a lot: download f.luxx. They're SO helpful for your eyes at night. YMMV but for me I have my sunset to Halogen (3400) and my bedtime to 3000. While it's important to lower the blue light down to relax your eyes, if you go TOO warm it can dampen the monitor contrast which might make pictures and text harder to read, and therefore make you squint more which defeats the purpose. Of course, during the day go full blue light while the sun is out. AND ALWAYS KEEP YOUR ROOM BRIGHT! Even with warm light, if your room is pitch black it hurts your eyes.
Redshift works as well - it can let you adjust the color temperature as well as brightness either throughout the entire day, or at different parts of the day.
Macs and PCs already have a 'night shift' setting ('night light' on PCs), so you don't even need to download software (unless you want specific customization).

My phone has a blue light filter in the settings, so I didn't have to download anything. I always turn it on at night _and_ lower the phone brightness. It helps a lot. 😊 I do have eye strain issues though, and I'm always forgetting to blink. 😩 Gonna start setting my timer when I'm online/writing so I can do the 20/20/20 thing. I knew about it before this vid, but I always forget to do it, so this was a nice reminder!

I’ve had both prescription & non-prescription blue light blocking glasses for about a year and I love them! I used to get 3-4 migraines/week due to lack of sleep but now I sleep much better and rarely ever get migraines. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!
TIPS: -Windows 10 has a night lamp/ nightlight option. Your screen will send out less blue light and more yellowish. (You can control the time it activates.) -There are programs for your PC (or apps for your phone) to lower your screen's brightness even further.
@@philcoulson03 Thank you for sharing this. I'll do more research.

I bought Blue light glasses a few years ago. I was having SEVERE eye pain, and couldn't figure it out. The eye doctors said everything was fine, but I knew better. It was so bad that my eyes were starting to get blurred. I finally did my own research and knew it had to be from the phone/computer, because I was on it ALL the time. 12 hours at work, and then go home and on it before bed. I found out about Blue light and ordered a pair off amazon. My eyes were better the first night. The pain was gone, and I'm going 2 years with no eye pain at all, and I'm still on the electronics as much as before. It seriously saved my eyes. Also, just in case anyone was wondering I ordered 2 pairs. 50% and 100%. The half off was good at first, because you can see everything naturally, but I eventually started liking the 100% more. It makes colors change on the computer, but I know I'm getting max protection. Good luck!
I've only slightly started learning about the supposed negative effects of EMF from the technology we use every day, but after watching this video, I'd be interested in your take on that topic.
Eye fatigues are the worst, thank you for the tips. My job requires lots screen staring and when I get too concentrated I really forget about blinking. I will definitely try these tips out ! Hope it helps 🤞
Doing my college from home is definitely contributing a ton of blue light. I’m sitting at my laptop from 9am on and off till about 11pm. Thanks for the eye strain tip, I definitely thought that was just because of blue light
Dr. Mike: Avoid screens at least 2 hrs before bedtime. Me, a stubborn writer who works late to write her novels: I'm afraid I can't do that. My protagonist is in the middle of a chase and I can't just leave it there.

When it seems you cannot surprise us, here you come with a new talent! Thanks for this topic, Dr. Mike!

I love the dramatic intro! 🤣 Please include more segments like this in the future. It was hilarious.
Dr Mike: "Step two feet away from your screen".
Me: "I can't, your face is on it".

I'm literally watching this at 1 am without the night mode
thankfully, phones have blue-light filters i can use
Hmmm kinda sus
I am watching this at 5 am .
@@fluffywolf6300 ye its 4.16 right now. I felt sick so I grabbed my phone and looked up doctor mike
Same dude same just at 12:30 lol 😂
Thanks for covering!
I wasn't expecting the introduction 🤥
Anyways, thank you for the info❤
"you want to be at least two feet away"
*slowly moves my phone away from my face*
He’s definitely a doctor. That handwriting 👀
My phone has a blue light filter in the settings, so I didn't have to download anything. I always turn it on at night _and_ lower the phone brightness. It helps a lot. 😊
I do have eye strain issues though, and I'm always forgetting to blink. 😩 Gonna start setting my timer when I'm online/writing so I can do the 20/20/20 thing. I knew about it before this vid, but I always forget to do it, so this was a nice reminder!
Counselling psychologist here! Have been discussing this a lot in sessions with clients (especially students). Now I can just send them this video and use therapy time better 😁😁
Thanks Doc!
p.s - would love to see you do a collab with mental health experts 🤩
He’s the science teacher that everyone wants *cue the white board*
IKR, I wanted Dr. Mike to be my Bio & Chem teacher lol
That Jim meme
I love how humble this bloke ... Umm, hmmm. I am sorry Dr. Mikhail Varshavski, really is.
Joking and smiling his way through this health lesson.
Mike: Hello Mr.Peters...yes my tests have found the reasons for your diarrhoea. *Points at chart* see right here you have cholera. while smiling
I’ve had both prescription & non-prescription blue light blocking glasses for about a year and I love them! I used to get 3-4 migraines/week due to lack of sleep but now I sleep much better and rarely ever get migraines. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!
The beautiful painting distracted me at 2:50 its so beautiful! Love rainy painting scenes
I love how mike can go from a regular funny guy to a frickin teacher in seconds
So much!!
And an annoying teacher at that! (said in the most endearing tone as possible, I like the annoyance)
His better than my physics teacher, I learn more with Mike than with him🥰🥰
I wish dr. Mike was my anatomy teacher in medicine.
Wow thanks for taking the time to make these videos. This really makes Learning fun. I learn new things every day. Thank you Doctor Mike!
TIPS:
-Windows 10 has a night lamp/ nightlight option. Your screen will send out less blue light and more yellowish. (You can control the time it activates.)
-There are programs for your PC (or apps for your phone) to lower your screen's brightness even further.
I have the yellow tint on all the time. Also, the brightness turned down. Migraines.
Im using samsung devices and they also have blue light filter
Most phones have it built in it's great, slot of led laps and fittings also have blue light filters built in to them
Rhiannon's birds Same, for the same reason. Still have to limit my time on screens in addition.
yeah, flux for pc was a complete game changer for me...
At the beginning, I thought this was some kind of movie
The 20/20/20 rule and blue-light-blocking glasses are the solutions for me. Thank you, Dr. Mike.
@zunaira zubair just watch this before you buy blue light glasses ruclips.net/video/NkJY9bgLyBE/видео.html
@@philcoulson03 Thank you for sharing this. I'll do more research. I think Dr. Mike did raise all of the other points in the video about factors affecting our sleep and eyes along with precautions we can take. These glasses are like an add-on to the process. But, definitely, we shouldn't waste money if something isn't worth it.
@@zunairazubair5719 that's exactly what i was trying to convey. ☺
@@philcoulson03 Thank you, I really appreciate 😊
Now I'm using blue light filter app , thankyou for sharing this kind of informative video ❤️
I haven’t been feeling well lately. I’ve had some tightness around my chest and watching Dr Mike makes me feel so much better! love you dr mike 💛
Mike: *looks insanely into the camera whispering blue light creepily*
Me: A-yo what is GOING ON, what have I clicked on???
Mike: *cracks and smiles then does a cute lil laugh*
Me: THANK GOD, had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Ngl it put a shiver down my back
Dr Mike: 2 feet away from your screen
My myopia and astigmatism: yeah I dont think so
🤣
Nystagmus and strabismous. Same.
The heck is that
I died on the overdramatic opening.😂 You really know meme-able scenes. I love it
The intro was like a movie 🎥 and I love it🥰
'Sunshine' doesn't exist when you wake up at 5 :(
But it does when you go to sleep at 2pm...and yes PM 😑😑 or at any daytime....i am a wreckXD
@@MusicFreakgirl666 my sleep yesterday literally where from 11 pm until 3 am and from 8 until 11 am.... And today I am supposed to wake up at 6.30am what is in 5 hours so....
I got one of those sunrise alarm clocks and it helped me wake up better. It starts lighting up 30 min before your alarm goes off.
I bought Blue light glasses a few years ago. I was having SEVERE eye pain, and couldn't figure it out. The eye doctors said everything was fine, but I knew better. It was so bad that my eyes were starting to get blurred. I finally did my own research and knew it had to be from the phone/computer, because I was on it ALL the time. 12 hours at work, and then go home and on it before bed. I found out about Blue light and ordered a pair off amazon. My eyes were better the first night. The pain was gone, and I'm going 2 years with no eye pain at all, and I'm still on the electronics as much as before. It seriously saved my eyes. Also, just in case anyone was wondering I ordered 2 pairs. 50% and 100%. The half off was good at first, because you can see everything naturally, but I eventually started liking the 100% more. It makes colors change on the computer, but I know I'm getting max protection. Good luck!
I have 2 pairs of blue blocking glasses. I wear them all the time.
I've only slightly started learning about the supposed negative effects of EMF from the technology we use every day, but after watching this video, I'd be interested in your take on that topic.
Eye fatigues are the worst, thank you for the tips. My job requires lots screen staring and when I get too concentrated I really forget about blinking. I will definitely try these tips out ! Hope it helps 🤞
Do u experienced diziness upon waking?
@@starlite7785 Sometimes, yes.
Doing my college from home is definitely contributing a ton of blue light. I’m sitting at my laptop from 9am on and off till about 11pm. Thanks for the eye strain tip, I definitely thought that was just because of blue light
I hope I'm not the only one who was confused at the beginning of the video 😂
These videos are getting better and better.
Me: hasn't read the title
Dr Mike: in a white robe in a darkish room
Me: reads the title
Dr Mike: in a white robe in a dark ish room
Finally a topic that covers my department....
Your videos are so enlightening and fun to watch.
Hoping for more ophthalmic related videos
I had to recheck if I’m on YT or Netflix watching a movie.
Dr. Mike: Avoid screens at least 2 hrs before bedtime.
Me, a stubborn writer who works late to write her novels: I'm afraid I can't do that. My protagonist is in the middle of a chase and I can't just leave it there.
Mind telling me what you write? Links?
Dr. Mike: “consider using blue light blocking glasses”
Me: *currently watching this video with blue light glasses on* 😎
Some people are just ahead of their time
I better buy those too. Thanks for the reminder!
Same here.
And my blue light filtering glasses have blue frames too 😎
Which ones do you use?
oneTopbbloveyou.link
The way the guy at the start called you "Mike" without the "Dr."
I--- O.O
Like... Who is he talking about? 😁😁
When you have blue light filter on all you're devices...
I'm invincible
I just got myself some blue light filter glasses, plus I turn on the filter on my phone and laptop so all good!
How do you do it?
Very nice video, thanks.
Dr. Mike looking like he just caught his man cheating sitting in that robe like that🤣😭
I know!
It felt like they were a couple LOL
🤣😂
NO FR AHAHAHA
This video was so much more interesting than just reading it on google. A big big Thanks to Dr. Mike for combining information with entertainment and supplementing his viewers with a regular dose of life enrichment 🙌🏻
When it seems you cannot surprise us, here you come with a new talent!
Thanks for this topic, Dr. Mike! I've been studying the colour theory for an Interior Design course and the first lesson is about how the eye perceives the colour. This video was perfect for me at this moment! As always, you're great and brilliant!
Too many blue light blocking glasses companies are making money off consumer ignorance. Finally someone got it right. Like always, I appreciate the objective truth Dr. Mike
