According to studies, Blue Light is a color in the visible light spectrum that can be seen by our eyes. It is basically everywhere, from the light of the sun to artificial sources, like, fluorescent lights, Light Emitting Diodes (LED), computer screens, our smartphones, and many more.

Exposure to Blue Light during the daytime is a healthy agent for our body for it promotes energy. On the other hand, exposure to artificial sources of Blue Lights at night interrupts our usual routine by tricking our brain into not releasing said melatonin, which results and ends up in us not feeling tired.
