My yoga studio sells them for 12 bucks. They are marketed as a device to help induce sleep. I wonder if anybody has had positive or negative experiences with them.

They block the blue light spectrum so your brain thinks you're in total darkness thus calming it down. They're great for when you're a little wound up and can't sleep.

I have a pair. They help somewhat. You do have to get a very specific color to block the blue light enough. Psychedution.org tells you where you can get this color.

I am a fairly boned woman and got the kind to go over my glasses. I should have just gotten regular ones as the over the glasses kind are ver big.

I used them a lot more when I was driving on summer nights with a long commute.

I use a program called f.lux which is a free download to turn off the blue light on my computer at the time of sundown every night. That helps a lot too.
