Optical Science

Light is the most powerful drug you're not controlling.

Every evening, screens flood your eyes with wavelengths that tell your brain it's midday. Overlight filters them out — so your biology can do what it was built to do.

The Visible Spectrum

Your lenses don't block light.
They block the right light.

The visible spectrum runs from 380nm to 700nm. Only two zones — blue (415–495nm) and green (495–550nm) — directly suppress melatonin via ipRGC photoreceptors. Our Eclipse lenses block 99.6% of this range. Dusk blocks 72.73%.

The Protocol

What happens inside your brain when you wear Overlight.

The pineal gland responds to light signals relayed from the retina. Block the right wavelengths, and melatonin secretion begins within minutes — not hours.

T — 0 min

Glasses on

Blue & green light is immediately filtered. Your ipRGC photoreceptors stop sending suppression signals to the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

T — 20 min

Melatonin onset

The pineal gland begins secreting melatonin. Core body temperature starts to drop. Drowsiness signals emerge naturally.

T — 60–90 min

Sleep pressure peaks

Melatonin levels reach their natural nightly peak. Your body is biologically primed for deep, restorative sleep.

Next morning

Recovered & sharp

Deeper slow-wave and REM cycles translate to better cognitive performance, mood, and physical recovery.

I've tried melatonin supplements, sleep tracking apps, blackout curtains. Nothing changed my sleep as fast as these glasses. Within 3 days I was falling asleep 40 minutes earlier.

As a content creator I'm on screens until midnight every day. Since Dusk, I actually feel tired when I should. My Oura ring went from 72 to 88 sleep score in two weeks.

The science is legit. I read the studies on ipRGC suppression and these lenses are specced correctly. Most blue-light glasses don't even touch green — Overlight does at 99.6%.
