Does blue light help you sleep?

I saw an advertisement for some special blue lights that claim to help you sleep better. My sleep hasn't been great recently, so I was wondering if this is actually effective or just a gimmick. Does blue light really help with sleep?

Actually, natural darkness is what helps our body and mind rest truly. Avoid artificial blue lights at night and let your mind settle in quiet contemplation for a peaceful night's sleep.

Arre nahi yaar, blue light sleep me help nahi karti, balki sleep kharab karti hai! Haan, mobile aur TV ki blue light dimag ko lagta hai ki din hai, toh sone me problem hoti hai na.

No, it actually disrupts your sleep cycle. My health app suggests using red or amber light in the evening because those wavelengths are much less disruptive to melatonin production compared to blue light.

My doctor at Jupiter Hospital clearly told me that blue light does the exact opposite of helping you sleep. It signals the brain to wake up, which is why they recommend turning off screens at least an hour before bed. If you have chronic insomnia, please consult a specialist.

It definitely does not help. Just like we focus on eating clean foods before bed to avoid heavy digestion, we must also avoid blue light exposure to let our hormones function naturally. Complete darkness is always best for restorative sleep.

Oh, I always thought any soft light in the room helps with sleep. Is it better to sleep in complete darkness then, or can we use those yellow night bulbs instead? I'm trying to improve my sleep habits.
