Video Script:

Ideally, I’d turn in to a pioneer every night around 7, planning out the next day’s biscuit recipes by candlelight. Candles emit almost zero blue light, so my melatonin levels would rise perfectly in the hours before bed, making me nice and sleepy. 

But, I’ve been watching the Olympics until 11pm most nights, and TVs emit the opposite of a candle — a ton of blue light. So here’s what I do to enjoy my un-pioneer like habits, while still decreasing my blue light exposure overall: 

First I set the TV’s display temperature to “warm” so it’s a little less blue. I still use incandescent light bulbs, which emit almost the same spectrum as candles— mostly red light. I cover little blinky lights in my bedroom with a combination of electrical tape and small wooden animals. And, I use a totally dark alarm clock with no glowing display, and keep street light out with blackout blinds. 

Also, just for fun, Fluorescent lights emit weird spikes of color, which is why they look so creepy. This is what a standard LED lightbulb emits, what a “warm white” LED emits, and what a zero-blue bulb emits.  Anyway, that’s all. Healthier lighting is on my website!
