Tired, but your brain won’t switch off?

About one in three US adults regularly sleeps less than the 7 hours their body needs.

Slept, but still wake up heavy?

Reading on a light-emitting tablet before bed pushed melatonin back by over 90 minutes and left people less alert the next morning.

Chang et al. · PNAS · 2015

Why you can’t fall asleepScreens and LEDs pour out the blue-green light your brain reads as noon, so melatonin waits.
Why you wake up tiredSleep starts late, but the alarm doesn’t. The hours you lose come out of your deep sleep.
Why it keeps happeningA body clock pushed late tonight starts late tomorrow, and the loop repeats.

Not all orange is the same

An orange tint isn’t a night lens.

Most blue-light glasses look alike in a photo. Here is what is actually different.

What changes

What two amber hours do.

Tired turns into asleep
01 · Sleep

Tired turns into asleep

Without the daytime signal, melatonin rises on time, so lying in bed stops being a waiting room.

Mornings feel like morning

Mornings feel like morning

A body clock that isn’t pushed later by screens means the alarm stops feeling like 4 am.

Sol takes the glare out of long screen days, so you reach the evening less wired.

Questions

Before you put them on.

Still curious? Write to us from the contact page.

Do blue light glasses actually help you sleep?

Clear “blue light” lenses don’t do much at night: they only trim part of 400–450 nm. Amber lenses that block blue and green light are different. In a randomised trial, people who wore amber lenses for three hours before bed reported better sleep than people in yellow placebo lenses (Burkhart & Phelps, 2009), and a small 2018 study found the same for people with insomnia (Shechter et al., Journal of Psychiatric Research).

When should I wear Noctis?

Put them on two hours before bed and keep them on until lights out: phone, TV, reading, all of it. If you wake in the night, put them on before you switch on a light.

Can I drive in them?

Not after dark. Noctis is a tinted evening lens for indoors; don’t wear it for night driving. Sol is fine for daytime screen work.

What’s the difference between Noctis and Sol?

Noctis is deep amber and blocks 99% of light from 400 to 550 nm, for the last two hours of your day. Sol is pale yellow and filters up to 90% of blue light from 400 to 480 nm, for daytime screens and LED offices.

What is the Day + Night set?

The same frame twice: one pair with Sol lenses and one with Noctis. Choose “Day + Night set” on any frame’s page. It costs less than buying both pairs separately.

Do you make prescription lenses?

Not yet. Every Marsani frame is non-prescription today.

How do returns work?

Wear them for 30 nights. If you’re not sleeping better, start a return within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. The details are in our refund policy.
