Abstract in brief

  • The article explores how wearing blue light filtering glasses can improve sleep quality and duration, which in turn positively affects work engagement, task performance, and organizational behaviors like teamwork and counterproductive actions.
  • The researchers propose that these glasses create a physiological darkness that benefits sleep, especially for people with later sleep schedules (higher chronotype), and this improved sleep leads to better work outcomes.
  • Through two studies with managers and call center workers, the findings showed that wearing blue light filters generally improved sleep and work-related behaviors, with stronger effects noted in employees with later sleep patterns.

@MohBro9 I believe that’s outdated - https://t.co/2QTLpzCXRU, https://t.co/FGkhSKo7w2 - it seems to be true for the eye strain stuff but not the sleep stuff

PCメガネ（ブルーライトカットメガネ）は、やっぱり効果あり！？ 新しい研究報告によると、ブルーライトカットメガネをかけた従業員は、プラセボメガネの人と比べて、睡眠や作業パフォーマンスが向上しました。特に夜型人間のタイプに効果的だったとのこと。 https://t.co/8eWkZjcYWZ

The weirdest advice you’ll ever receive on improving work performance… Wear blue-light filtration glasses at night. It will improve sleep quality, and in turn, next-day performance. Or put the phone away and read a book. Journal of Applied Psychology: https://t.co/cjcBBJxT5y https://t.co/5dX79JLz4n
