For Adults With ADHD

How Adults With ADHD Fell Asleep 43 Minutes Faster After Using Red Lens Glasses

A University of Alabama study found what ADHD medication couldn't fix — and it costs less than a dinner out.


The Problem

It's not that you won't sleep. Your brain won't let you.

If you have ADHD, this probably sounds familiar:

This is not a willpower problem. It is a biology problem. Your circadian rhythm is delayed by design. And every hour of screen time after sunset pushes it back further. No amount of discipline changes the underlying mechanism.


The Evidence

What Researchers at the University of Alabama Discovered

Fargason et al. (2013) · ChronoPhysiology and Therapy

Adults With ADHD and Chronic Insomnia. Two Weeks. No Medication.

14 adults with ADHD and chronic insomnia wore blue light blocking amber glasses every evening — from sundown until bedtime — for two weeks. No drugs. No therapy. No lifestyle overhaul.

Average compliance: 2.4 hours per day. Less than the recommended 3 hours. Partial use. Real life.

Reduction in sleep latency in the most sleep-delayed participants

These weren't people with mild sleep difficulty. They had clinical insomnia on top of ADHD. Their average sleep quality score of 11.15 placed them well inside the insomnia threshold. After two weeks of wearing amber-tinted glasses in the evening, their scores dropped to 4.54 — below the clinical cut-off.

This wasn't medication. It wasn't therapy. It was simply blocking the light that was keeping their brain awake.

The mechanism is straightforward. Blue light in the 460–480nm range suppresses melatonin. For people with ADHD — whose melatonin production is already delayed by 90 minutes — this suppression compounds the problem dramatically. Remove the light signal, and the brain begins to follow its own rhythm again.

Results based on Fargason et al. (2013), ChronoPhysiology and Therapy. Study used amber-tinted lenses; Waves Night Lenses use red lenses blocking 99% of blue light. Individual results may vary.


Why It Works

The light is the problem. Block the light, fix the signal.

Most didn't expect how fast it worked.

You came here with a sleep problem. The science points to one fix. The only step left is trying it.
