Hands up those of us who spend the last 30 minutes of our waking hours
winding down with our mobile phones, tablets or e-readers. Now ask yourself:
have you ever had trouble sleeping?
Scientists recently discovered that the blue light from our electronic
devices – such as our mobile phones, tablets and computers – can disrupt sleep
patterns and inhibit the production of melatonin, the chemical in our bodies
that helps us fall asleep.
That’s why we at WaveWall have created WaveWall Sleep, a blue light
filter that also acts as a screen protector, for mobile phones and tablets.
Our sleek screen protector covers your device’s screen and filters out
the harmful blue light, without affecting the image quality. It helps us
eliminate that wide-awake feeling and allows us to go straight to sleep.
Sleep is important for all of us – particularly teenagers. It helps our brains function well and is a major factor in our general health. In fact, sleep deprivation has been linked to diabetes, obesity and depression.

Humans naturally follow a 24-hour cycle, known as the circadian
rhythm. Thanks to the advent of artificial light, we can work or play at any
time of the day or night. This brings many benefits but the downside is that it
can put our natural rhythm out of sync.
Dr Dieter Kunz, director of sleep research at Berlin Medical School,
says blue’s benefit, and its detriment, are both a matter of timing. In one
experiment, he showed that exposing healthy subjects to 30 minutes of 500 lux
polychromatic blue light an hour before bedtime, in their natural home
environment, delayed the onset of rapid eye movement sleep by 30 minutes.
He said: “A growing body of evidence suggests that a desynchronization
of circadian rhythms may play a role in various tumoral diseases, diabetes,
obesity, and depression.”
Priced at less than £7.99, WaveWall Sleep is specifically designed to cut out only the
harmful wavelengths of blue light.
