Blue Light Spectrum Analyzer 1.1

Experiencing challenges with motivation or sleep is a common issue that many individuals face. The Blue Light Spectrum Analyzer offers an innovative solution to identify sources of blue light in your environment, which can significantly impact your wakefulness and motivation levels.

If your goal is to relax and prepare for sleep, this tool can aid in eliminating blue light sources and utilizing filters to signal to your body that it is time to wind down.

How to Use

1. Capture images of your bedroom, bathroom, and workspace.
2. Analyze the images using the Blue Light Spectrum Analyzer app.
3. Interpret the results: orange and gray tones are conducive to sleep, while blue and bright saturated colors promote wakefulness.

Control Your Exposure

Implementing straightforward modifications, such as replacing light bulbs in your sleeping areas with those that emit a softer color temperature (below 3000K), can significantly enhance your ability to fall asleep. Additionally, installing dimmers or utilizing alternative light sources during nighttime can foster a more conducive environment for sleep. Reducing screen time before bed or using light-filtering glasses are also effective strategies for promoting quicker sleep onset.

Nanometers Matter!

Our eyes contain highly sensitive photo pigments known as melanopsin. Exposure to blue light within the 420-480 nanometer spectrum activates this pigment, sending strong signals to the brain's sleep-wake control center. This process inhibits the production of melatonin, a critical hormone for regulating sleep and overall well-being.

It’s important to note that naturally occurring blue light is absent at night. Instead, our eyes are adapted to perceive light from celestial bodies such as stars and the moon. While some orange light is tolerable at night, exposure to daylight-spectrum bulbs can disrupt sleep patterns by overwhelming the system.

Meaningful Imagery

Humans are instinctively drawn to significant light sources. Flat panels of blue light do not engage our brains in the same manner as natural views such as the sky. The spectrum analyzer app allows users to gauge the amount of natural light filtering through windows, picture frames, or other sources in their environment.

Relative Measurement

The app has been designed with care to offer measurements that are practical for everyday users. The interface enables visual confirmation of colors present in conjunction with spectrum analysis. However, it's worth noting that the color space utilized by the app doesn’t adhere strictly to photographic standards. The spectrum measurement ends at 630 nanometers (reflecting red for wavelengths between 630-700), and hues may appear as gray due to varying brightness levels across different wavelengths.
