Swanwick Glasses Review - Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Order Swanwick Sleep Glasses Here:

I help vegans lose fat, build lean muscle, and get in the best shape of their lives.

I like to wake up at 5am in the morning.
Sometimes I need to wake up at that time to go to work, but more often than not I do it for plain pleasure.
You got your whole day ahead of you, everyone is still asleep and no one is ever trying to disturb you at that time.
It's you time.
To improve my sleep and protect that time I've tried multiple measures: I installed black out curtains, I started sleeping in a cold environment and only recently I started using Blue Light Blocking glasses from Swanwick Sleep.

Now fun fact: Swanwick Sleep has actually sent me the wrong glasses first.
I wanted the Wayfarer Ones but got the Tortoise Shell Glasses.
I asked the Customer Service if I can change them, but after my first night with the Tortoise pair and sleeping amazing, I asked if I could simply buy another pair.
And trust me, I never do that.

How do they work?

Swannies, so are these glasses called, improve your circadian rhythm.
Your body is constantly trying to figure out what time currently is.
One of the ways your body does this, is by telling what kind of lights are in our environment.
Your retina, the inner coat of the eye, is light-sensitive and sends nerve impulses through the fibres of the optic nerves, to the visual centres of your brain.
Especially blue light is inducing wakefulness and prevents melatonin from getting into your bloodstream.
Why does exactly blue light makes us awake? Well, look at the sky out there. Makes sense evolution-wise, am I right?
Life would be way easier if only the sky would emit blue-light, but nowadays blue light is freaking everywhere.
On your phone, PC, lamps in your fridge and even your bedside lamp.
Leaving your brain thinking that it's constantly day-time, not cool.
Swannies block the blue light in your environment and therefore tell your brain, that maybe it's time to shut down and prepare for sleep.
Your brain therefore commands the creation of Melatonin, which is a sleep-inducing hormone.
Melatonin is also anti-inflammatory, responsible for helping you recover while sleeping.
Crucial for people training on a regular basis.

Why Swannies?

Swannies are an FDA registered medical device.
They contain polycarbonate lenses, which were originally developed by the aerospace industry for use in helmet visors worn by astronauts
These lenses are 10 times more impact-resistant than regular plastic lenses, are lightweight and even are used for riot shields by the police.
Swannies contain anti-glare coating on both sides, which reduces reflection and therefore reduces eye strain and improves your vision.
Swannies also have top quality acetate frames with spring hinges.
They're hypoallergenic, made from renewable ressource, are lightweight and durable.
Their customer service is absolutely amazing, thank you Sarah for dealing with me.
They got over 200 five star reviews.
Fitness celebrities such as Brandon Carter, Ben Greenfield, Shawn Stevenson and Arnold Schwarzenegger have used them and found them absolutely amazing.
And these are the competitors of Swannies: Poor quality, bad looking, yellow tinted glasses that offer only small protection against blue light. Not cool.

Thank you for your time and thank you for your trust. I hope you have a great day. :-)

This is very true about blue light. I would recommend installing the programs; Twilight (Android) and f.lux (Windows) which change your screen to only emit red light.

Great vid. But one point was off. James made the Swannies to look more fashionable, not because the worker blue blockers didn't work..

Great vid; you know your stuff. A few questions if you don't mind.

1) I'm wondering if I should begin wearing these just 2 hours before sleep or earlier when it becomes dark? E.g. 6 pm.
2) I know digestion can disrupt sleep so if I wear the glasses at 6 pm. And eat and 8 and 10 pm. Sleep at 12. Was wearing the glasses a waste?
3) I don't mind wearing them to sleep but before bed I do a self-esteem meditation where I look at myself in the mirror. So if I wear the glasses at 6 pm and then take them off at 11:30 pm, do the meditation with lights on, and put them back on for sleep....does that make sense or did my taking them off, seeing the light, just mess up the whole thing and now my brain thinks its morning again?

Really appreciate your time and wisdom !

I have these Swanwick Blue blockers and was wondering if they can be used outside to reduce exposure to glare and blue light from the sun.

Have you ever tried Blue Light Blocking Glasses? If yes, what kind of experience did you have? Let me know here in the comments. :-)

[timothyjekk]

do transition glasses filter out blue light as much as blue light lenses?

Hi, I working night shifs, where everywhere is artificial lighting. How to cope with 9 hours work in this environment. What you reckon? Any advice I would be grateful. Thanks

3:42 Did you say "Arnold Schnitzel" !??

[visal]

Can i use this in day time?(playing phone)

[alinnan]

Those cheap glasses you are showing in your video as not being real blue light blocking, so "not cool", are the Uvex Skyper and they are in fact blocking 98% of blue light (most of the expensive blue light blocking glasses are blocking at most 65% of blue light). They indeed are cheap and not about fashion since are designed as industrial safety glasses, but are very effective in blocking blue light. I work only night shift and i wear them all the time. Uvex is a very reputable company. Can your Swannies block 98% of blue light? If you don't know what you are talking about just don't say it.

[NonsensicalReality]

I wouldn't be able to sleep with glasses on. Your movement is too limited. I like to be able to move my head haha
