In fact, internet searches have increased 60% in the last year. In this article of our blog we are going to tell you different aspects, with scientific bases, that you probably did not know yet.<\/em><\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<h2><strong>1. Two very different types of blue light<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>Our eyes are capable of capturing the spectrum of light that goes between 400 and 750nm. Below 400nm is the dangerous ultraviolet light and, in the case of blue light, it is the one that is closest to it, with a wavelength between 400 and 500 nm. But there are two types of blue light that are important to distinguish between them: blue-violet light and blue-turquoise light. The first is a type of light with higher energy and therefore faster scattering, which makes it more harmful as it can cause glare. The second is directly related to sleep regulation.<\/p>&#13;\n<h2><strong>2. Se trata de equilibrio<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>It is true that also in sunlight there is a large amount of blue light present, but the difference is that this amount is in balance with the rest of the lights. This is not the case with other sources of blue light, for example LED screens such as those of a Tablet or computer device, where the amount of blue light emitted is much higher than the rest of the lights. The problems associated with blue light lie in overexposure to it, which is one of the causes of Computer Visual Syndrome that has the following consequences: dry eyes, headaches, red eyes, etc.<\/p>&#13;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-15073 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso\" width=\"927\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-300x76.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-1024x261.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-768x195.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-1536x391.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-2048x521.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-260x66.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-50x13.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-150x38.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pegasosafety.com\/cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/luz-azul-led-solar-pegaso-600x153.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<h2><strong>3. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no tengo sue\u00f1o?<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n<p>As we said, the blue-turquoise light is closely linked to our regulation of rest because it acts as an inhibitor in the production of melatonin, which is the sleep hormone. When we expose ourselves to blue light at night, our body does not interpret that it is time to sleep because melatonin is not produced and that is when we can suffer from insomnia.<\/p>&#13;\n<h2><strong>4. Tambi\u00e9n existen beneficios<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n<p>It is important to note that the negative effects of blue light begin when we overexpose ourselves to it, which means, we receive a large amount of blue light for long periods of time without rest, as when working 8 hours with the computer and then continue looking at the mobile or TV. But on the other hand, blue light has a positive impact on our dopamine production, which is beneficial as this helps us to stay alert and motivated.<\/p>&#13;\n<h2><strong>5.
