Can Orange Glasses Help You Sleep Better?
By KATE GALBRAITH / APRIL 6, 2015 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. “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.

“Dear Dr. Blumenstock: As someone who has struggled with coronary artery disease, sleep apnea and chronic snoring for over several years, I write to express my deepest gratitude for equipping me with an oral repositioning appliance.

Sleep apnea patients avoid treatment: CPAP device intolerance
Despite the growing number of Americans who suffer from sleepless nights, snoring, and serious medical consequences (estimated at over 15 million Americans), studies show that sleep apnea sufferers are avoiding treatment, and running serious health risks in the process. Although the CPAP machine has proven itself to be almost 100% effective at treating sleep apnea, scientists are discovering that the catch phrase that goes along with that statistic is “if used properly”. It’s common knowledge that data can be interpreted in many ways, and often is misleading. In the case of the CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure machine), the …
