Weekend ‘catch-up sleep’ is a lie

Haven’t heard of blue light blocker glasses. My wife and I put in red led bulbs for our nightstand lights and read paper books or magazines for about a half hour before going to sleep. I also do legs up the wall for about 10 minutes right before going to sleep and that really helps me.

How does red light help sleep? I googled just now, saw some stuff, but interested to see what you think or know.

more red signals sunset to the brain. Read in the HN comments that bunks in the navy are equipped with red lights so one person can read without disturbing the sleep of others.

The glasses are about ten bucks on Amazon. I use a pair, but I found that dimming the lights is also important.
