As a sleep researcher who knows the importance of good quality sleep, I always look into the science and benefits behind the products I test out and review. While writing our guide for the best sunrise alarm clocks, I discovered the Casper Glow Lights: a unique set of lights that are portable, attractive, and can also help you improve your sleep quality.
Research studies have shown that exposure to blue light (found in some household light bulbs and most electronic devices) later in the evening can restrict the natural production of melatonin and negatively affect circadian rhythms, the flow of hormones that tell us when to go to sleep and wake up. If you wake up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water or run to the bathroom, you’ll often have to turn the lights on, which can significantly disturb your slumber and the ability to fall back to sleep.
The Casper Glow Lights are uniquely designed to be gentle on the eyes and conveniently transported around the house to set the mood for bedtime. They’re perfect as night lights, and a great replacement for bright overhead lights or reading lamps later in the evening.

The lights operate on a timer: 45 seconds for the night light and 30 minutes for the reading light, but there is also a pause button that you can use to leave …….
