Unlock the secrets of sleep health with Roger Sutherland, as we demystify the complex ties between blue light exposure and melatonin production. Have you ever questioned whether that late-night screen time is sabotaging your rest? Roger promises to reshape your understanding, revealing that it's not just about falling asleep but protecting your body's vital antioxidant defenses. Together, we'll challenge the notion that blue light directly prevents sleep and instead focus on its more insidious role in disrupting melatonin, a crucial hormone not just for sleep, but for battling oxidative stress, especially in shift workers.

Explore actionable insights into safeguarding your melatonin levels in a world that's always switched on. From the strategic use of blue light blocking glasses to creating warm, dim-lit environments, Roger shares essential strategies for maintaining your health amidst irregular schedules. Shift workers, take note: low-dose melatonin supplements might be your new best friend in counteracting the health risks associated with disrupted sleep patterns. Join us for a compelling discussion that empowers you to prioritize your wellbeing in a 24-7 society.
