Glasses, Melatonin and Getting Pregnant
I thought I'd heard it all, but I found this article on how special glasses can actually help regulate our melatonin which can help with fertility. It's strange, but it makes sense.There are other natural ways to stimulate melatonin production. It's usually recommended to sleep in a completely dark room. I should also mention,however, that melatonin supplements are NOT recommended when you are trying to conceive as they may have an adverse affect. Read more:
From the article:
"The timing of the birth of the young of most animals including humans is regulated to some extent by the duration of the flow of melatonin. Before electric lights the duration of the flow of melatonin gradually increased during the autumn as the nights grew longer. In most animals this signaled the period of greatest fertility so that young, conceived then, would be born in the spring. For humans, electric lights spelled the end of the natural effect of the length of day on fertility.
It was recently discovered that the flow of the hormone melatonin is controlled by the blue component in white light. This means we can use the yellow and red light without interfering with the natural flow of melatonin. Wearing glasses that block the blue light creates an effect just like actual darkness as far as the production of melatonin is concerned. By putting on the glasses in the evening for a short time before bedtime can extend the flow by a short time. Putting them on a few minutes earlier each night will simulate the longer nights of autumn. While not yet established by clinical trials it is logical that this may help increase fertility. Getting back to the way nature intended isn’t going to do any harm and may help. The greatest number of births occurs in July. This suggests that November is the month of highest fertility.
