What this episode covers

Many sources have told us to cut out electronics use before bed, but we find it hard to give up our social media, Netflix, and video games. New research suggests that specialized LED lighting can aid in managing our blue light exposure. By shifting from blue light to a softer yellow color at night, our brains fall asleep easier and stay sleepy, even if we need to get up in the night.
