Screens Are Stealing Your Sleep
-
The Problem
Your evening screens emit the wavelengths your brain reads as daylight — delaying the melatonin that puts you to sleep.
-
The Science
That signal lives between 400 and 520 nanometres. Filter those wavelengths before bed and the wake-up cue quiets.
-
The Solution
SleepSpec lenses block 98% of light across that range. Wear them an hour before bed: your screen stays bright, your brain stays dark.
THE SCIENCE
Backed by the research — engineered beyond it.
Eight independent university studies have shown that filtering blue and blue-green light before bed supports earlier melatonin release, faster sleep, and deeper rest. The lenses tested in those trials blocked 40–80% of that light.
SleepSpec blocks a lab-verified 98%.

SleepSpec wasn't tested in these trials — it was engineered from them. Every lens specification shown to work is built into our product, then taken further.

The Research, by Use Case
-
If your evenings are screens
Adults wearing amber lenses for 2–3 hours before bed showed up to 58% higher nighttime melatonin in clinical trials.
Ostrin et al., University of Houston, 2017
-
If you struggle to fall asleep
A randomised trial of adults with insomnia symptoms found amber lenses produced ~30 minutes more sleep.
Shechter et al., Journal of Psychiatric Research, 2018
-
If you wake up during the night
A field study of blue-light-filtering glasses worn before bed found a significant reduction in night-time awakenings.
Bigalke et al., Montana State University, 2021
-
If you work shifts or late hours
Employees wearing blue-light-filtering glasses before bed gained around 23 minutes of nightly sleep in a workplace field study.

How to Wear SleepSpec
-
1. Put them on
1–2 hours before bed. The earlier in your wind-down, the cleaner the signal to your brain.
-
2. Use your screens
Watch TV, scroll, work, read. The lenses do the filtering while you do what you'd do anyway.
-
3. Take them off
Drop them in the case on your bedside table. Lights off, no wake-up signal, ready for sleep.
Most reviewers say they notice a difference within the first week of consistent use.
MADE FOR YOUR EVENING
Wherever Your Evening Takes You
Working late, watching TV, scrolling, reading. SleepSpec works inside your evening — not against your wind-down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collapsible row
How long before bed should I wear them?
1–2 hours before bed. Put them on as your wind-down begins, and keep them on while you're on screens or under bright indoor lighting. The lenses filter the wavelengths that suppress melatonin — so they only work when you're wearing them in the window before sleep.
What makes SleepSpec different from regular blue-light glasses?
Most blue-light glasses are designed for daytime eye comfort and block around 20–45% of blue light. SleepSpec is designed for the hour before bed and blocks 98% of light in the 400–520nm range — the specific wavelengths that suppress melatonin.
Can I wear them over prescription glasses?
Not over the top of your prescription glasses — the current frame sits directly on the face. If you wear glasses for distance, contact lenses for evening wear are the cleanest workaround. A prescription-lens version is on the roadmap.
Do they work for all screen types?
SleepSpec filters the wavelengths in the 400–520nm range that come from any source — phones, tablets, laptops, TVs, LED bulbs, fluorescent lights. The glasses don't care which device the light comes from; they filter the wavelengths.
Made by Someone Who Couldn't Switch Off
2:17 a.m. The phone is bright, sleep is gone, another hour written off. That pattern is what pushed our founder, Angus Kekwick, to build SleepSpec — glasses engineered for the critical hour before bed, not for the working day.
- Wide-coverage lenses help block side-light
- 98% of blue-green light filtered at 400–520nm
- 30% lighter than mainstream amber-tint frames
Today, SleepSpec exists for the people who couldn't switch their evenings off either. The goal: reclaim one million nights of better sleep by 2030.
