Blue & Green Light Blocking Glasses

Nightshades block the green and blue wavelengths that disrupt melatonin, while allowing just enough violet light through to maintain some color perception. It’s full-strength circadian protection you'll actually use.

How do I use the Nighshades?

Wear the Nightshades in the hours after sunset or whenever you’re exposed to bright indoor light and screens at night.

They’re designed to block the green and blue melanopic light that tells your brain it’s daytime, while preserving just enough violet light to keep your world from turning into a dull red haze. This makes them perfect for real-life evening activities like watching movies, going out, or winding down at home.

For best results, put them on at least 1-2 hours before bed, and pair with warm, non-melanopic lighting like deep amber or red.

How does it work?

The Nightshades filter out 98.5% of the sleep-disrupting green and blue melanopic range (425-570nm) while allowing a small amount of violet light (400-420nm) to pass through. This violet pass-through keeps your retina’s color receptors engaged so you can maintain functional color perception in the evenings, something most full-blocking orange or red lenses sacrifice.

The result: your melatonin stays protected, your circadian rhythm stays aligned, and your world stays visually clear and usable.

How soon will I notice a difference?

For most people, the difference in sleep onset is immediate with many noticing the increased sleep pressure on the first night.

Over the first week, you may find it easier to fall asleep at a consistent time and wake up more refreshed.

With consistent use, Nightshades help your body lock into a natural rhythm, making “wired but tired” late nights a thing of the past.

Precision Engineering

Our biology evolved over millions of years to live in tune with the cues and rhythms of nature. In an indigenous setting, after the sun sets, the only light you would see comes from campfires, candles, and the warm glow of embers. The Nightshades recreate that same low stimulation signal in the modern world - so you can still scroll, cook, or watch TV at night without sending your circadian rhythm into chaos.

Our Nightshade lenses cut 98.5% of melanopic green and blue light from 425-570nm, the range proven to suppress melatonin and disrupt sleep — while allowing a small amount of 400-420nm violet light to pass. This violet pass-through keeps color receptors partially engaged, restoring detail and color separation for evening activities like reading, socializing, or movie-watching.

Whether you’re under harsh LED lighting, winding down from a long day of screen use, or creating a healthier nighttime environment at home, the Nightshades keep you aligned with the natural signals your body depends on - without forcing you to live in the dark.
