The Science
Artificial light has hijacked our biology. For hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived by firelight and darkness after sunset. But today, our eyes are bombarded by intense blue and green light deep into the night—from screens, LEDs, and indoor lighting. This light tells your brain it's still daytime, suppressing melatonin, elevating cortisol, and throwing your sleep into chaos.
TrueBlockers are built on one scientific truth:
To restore deep, natural sleep—you must block the entire sleep-disrupting light spectrum (380–550nm). That’s not a marketing claim. It’s what peer-reviewed research and lab data confirm again and again.
What Happens When You Truly Block the Right Light?
✅ Up to 2–3x more natural melatonin production
✅ Fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
✅ Wake up with higher energy and better mood
✅ Better cognitive performance the next day
✅ Deeper, more restorative sleep (increased slow-wave activity)
✅ Fewer nighttime wake-ups and less tossing and turning
✅ Natural alignment of your circadian rhythm
✅ Reduction in cortisol spikes at night
✅ Improved sleep even in shift workers and screen-heavy lifestyles

While TrueBlockers are designed based on peer-reviewed research, individual results may vary. These statements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult with a healthcare provider for sleep-related concerns.
