You train like it matters. Then the phone, the TV and the kitchen lights tell your body it's still midday, and the hormone that opens your night, melatonin, gets pushed back (Gooley et al., 2011). Midnight is our deepest red lens, built to filter the blue light from evening screens and lamps. Wear it for the last 1–3 hours before bed. Protect your melatonin. Let sleep do the recovering.

Ordinary room light before bed delayed melatonin onset in 99% of people and cut their melatonin night short by about 90 minutes (Gooley et al., 2011).
Reading on a light-emitting tablet before bed meant less melatonin, a later body clock, longer to fall asleep and less alert the next morning than a printed book (Chang et al., 2015).
Evening training is mostly fine for sleep. Vigorous sessions that end within an hour of bedtime may push sleep back, so give yourself a buffer (Stutz et al., 2019).
Midnight is made for your last 1–3 hours before bed.
How it works
In a pilot study of recreational athletes, wearing amber blue-blocking glasses for three hours before bed led them to report falling asleep faster, sleeping better and feeling more alert the next morning (Knufinke et al., 2019).
Indoors only. Never wear Midnight to train, drive or go outside.
Why not red all day? Your body clock needs bright light by day and low light at night. Sleep scientists recommend exactly that pattern (Brown et al., 2022). DayLight stays light on purpose.

Red lenses on after dinner, phone on the charger by ten. Mornings feel easier since I started.
Light frame, doesn’t pinch behind the ears. I keep forgetting I’m wearing them.
It’s a strong tint, so I keep them for the last hour or two. Reading in bed is much easier on my eyes.
Arrived well packed and the fit is good on a wider face too. Most frames feel tight on me.
I wear them for the hour after my shift before I sleep. Switching off is so much easier now.
Took a few days to build the habit, now I reach for them every day. One star off only because I’d like more frame colours.
Midnight protects your sleep window, and sleep does the recovering. Bright evening light from screens and lamps suppresses and delays melatonin, the hormone that helps you get ready for sleep. Midnight is our deepest red lens, built to filter that blue light, and in lab studies blue-blocking lenses kept melatonin from being suppressed under bright light. Sleep is where training turns into recovery and progress.
Melatonin rises in the evening and helps your body get ready for sleep. Sleep is where recovery happens: in one study, a single night without sleep cut muscle protein synthesis by 18% the next day. Keeping your evening light low helps protect that process.
For the last 1 to 3 hours before bed, while you refuel, stretch, watch or scroll. Take them off at lights out. If you train hard late, finish at least an hour before bed.
No. Midnight is a deep red lens made for indoor evenings. Don't wear it to train, outdoors or to drive. For daytime screens, wear DayLight, our light yellow lens.
