Sleep is foundational for oral health and total body wellness. However, modern light exposure, especially after dark, can disrupt sleep by suppressing melatonin production. My latest Mouth Health Natters podcast tackles this issue by exploring blue light-blocking solutions.
I’m thrilled to welcome Daniel Ebbett, founder of BlockBlueLight, as our special guest. Daniel shares his personal health journey that led him to develop blue light-blocking glasses after struggling with chronic insomnia and migraines.
Blue light wavelengths emitted from screens and artificial lighting impede the brain’s natural sleep-wake cycles. Daniel’s innovative blue light glasses allow uninhibited melatonin release to promote faster sleep onset, longer sleep duration, and higher sleep quality by preventing blue light exposure after sunset.
As a holistic dentist, I’m particularly passionate about how oral health intersects with sleep. Quality sleep is protective against gum inflammation, dry mouth, and even tooth decay. As Daniel explains, optimising your sleep environment with blue light-blocking tools fosters healthy saliva production and other factors that support oral wellness.
This podcast explores various sleep hygiene tips like avoiding electronics before bed, banning TVs from bedrooms, and adopting amber-tinted blue light glasses after dark. We discuss identifying sources of harmful blue light exposure in your home and workplace that could be addressed.
This podcast provides practical solutions if you struggle to get good, healing sleep. Learn how blue light-blocking glasses can transform your sleep, energy levels, focus and mood. Promoting robust melatonin secretion and deep, restorative sleep pays dividends for your oral health, immune function, cognitive performance and more.
The mouth-body connection means disrupted sleep cascades into whole-body imbalance. Start reclaiming restful nights by optimising your sleep environment. Tune into this insightful natter with blue light expert Daniel Ebbett to pick up research-backed sleep hygiene strategies. Sweet dreams!
