??戴橙色眼镜有助睡眠？Can Orange Glasses Help You Sleep Better? Most evenings, before watching late-night comedy or reading emails on his phone, Matt Nicoletti puts on a pair of orange-colored glasses that he bought for $8 off the Internet. 大多数晚上，马特·尼科莱蒂(Matt Nicoletti)会在看深夜喜剧或用手机阅读电子邮件之前戴上他花8美元在网上买的橙色眼镜。 “My girlfriend thinks I look ridiculous in them,” he said. But Mr. Nicoletti, a 30-year-old hospitality consultant in Denver, insists that the glasses, which can block certain wavelengths of light emitted by electronic screens, make it easier to sleep. 30岁的尼科莱蒂是丹佛市的一名酒店预订专员。“女朋友觉得我戴着这眼镜的样子很可笑，”他说。但他坚持认为，它可以阻挡从电子屏幕发出的特定波长的光线，使人更容易入睡。 Studies have shown that such light, especially from the blue part of the spectrum, inhibits the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that helps people fall asleep. Options are growing for blocking blue light, though experts caution that few have been adequately tested for effectiveness and the best solution remains avoiding brightly lit electronics at night. 研究表明，此类光线（尤其是光谱的蓝色部分）可抑制人体制造褪黑素——一种可帮助人们入睡的激素。众多阻挡蓝光的产品应运而生，但专家警告说，几乎没几种产品的有效性经过了充分的测试验证，目前的最佳解决方案仍是避免在晚上接受来自电子屏幕的亮光。 A Swiss study of 13 teenage boys, published in August in The Journal of Adolescent Health, showed that when the boys donned orange-tinted glasses, also known as blue blockers and shown to prevent melatonin suppression, in the evening for a week, they felt “significantly more sleepy” than when they wore clear glasses. The boys looked at their screens, as teenagers tend to do, for at least a few hours on average before going to bed, and were monitored in the lab. 8月，《青少年健康期刊》(The Journal of Adolescent Health)上发表了一项来自瑞士的研究。这项涉及13名十几岁男孩的研究显示，受试者们在一周期间每晚佩戴橙色眼镜（又称为蓝光阻隔眼镜），可防止褪黑素抑制效应，他们比佩戴透明眼镜时“明显更有睡意”。这些男孩在实验室内接受了监测，他们像普通青少年一样，每晚睡觉前平均会看上几个小时的电子屏幕。 Older adults may be less affected by blue light, experts say, since the yellowing of the lens and other changes in the aging eye filter out increasing amounts of blue
