I’ve been using blue light-blocking glasses for about 3 years now, and find that, while their contribution to a good night’s sleep isn’t a stand-alone answer, they definitely DO help. I’ve verified that by accidentally forgetting to pop them on 1 to 2 hours before trying to sleep, so I’m pretty sure about their positive contribution to that sometimes torturous enterprize.
Which is why I wasn’t entirely surprised when I came across this in NeuroScience News, and knowing how many of us deal with unpredictable and sometimes immobilizing pains and aches from time to time, if not more frequently, I thought I’d mention it here …

Green Eyeglasses Reduce Pain-Related Anxiety in Fibromyalgia https://neurosciencenews.com/green-eyeglasses-fibromyalgia-21713/
Summary: Using eyeglasses that filter a specific wavelength on the green light spectrum reduces pain-related anxiety and could decrease the need for opioids for those with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.

Wearing special green eyeglasses for several hours a day
reduces pain-related anxiety and may help decrease the need
for opioids to manage severe pain in fibromyalgia patients
and possibly others who experience chronic pain,
according to a study being presented at the
ANESTHESIOLOGY 2022 annual meeting.

“Our research found that certain wavelengths of green light stimulate
the pathways in the brain that help manage pain,” said Padma Gulur, M.D.

Since green protective eyewear is available in many different styles and types, and of course are available on Amazon for a modest sum, including many offerings that fit over your regular prescription glasses if you wear them, it might be worth an experimental run.the pathways in the brain that help manage pain,” said Padma Gulur, M.D.
