Throughout the episode, Daniel tackles common misconceptions about blue light blocking glasses and underscores the need for more research and advocacy in this field. He emphasizes the critical role of parents and educators in prioritizing circadian health in young people, who will be the ones to face and resolve the world's future challenges.

Gain insights into the importance of circadian rhythms, the challenges teenagers face with technology use, and the simple yet powerful intervention of blue light blocking glasses. Join the movement to prioritize sleep and well-being for the next generation.

Quotes:

“If you tell a child you wear this pair of blue lock blocking glasses, you'll sleep better, you'll wake up tomorrow, you'll feel better, and they do it.” (19:53 | Daniel White)
“At the end of the day, people, children in their youth, just want to experience a high quality of life. They want to be happy. They want to be curious because they haven't had that beaten out of them by decades of technology use.” (20:19 | Daniel White)
“I personally believe from all my research and evidence and experience, not just in clinic, but also in my own personal life, that a good night's sleep is the best medicine. Being in sync with nature, having cells that function properly, that produce energy, that repair, that restore that carry out all of these important biological and physiological functions that ensure that we can grow and develop to the fullest of our potential.” (41:31 | Daniel White)
