Excess subjection to blue-rich light at night time is directly correlated to disruption of our sleep-wake cycle. In the short-term, disruption of the sleep-wake cycle can cause fatigue, reduced physical and mental performance, reduced productivity, irritability, prevent individuals from feeling fresh in the morning, and cause that groggy morning wake up. Research has suggested that this disruption can give way to long term issues such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, depression, mood and sleep disorders.
