NEWLY IMPROVED! Improved frame- now with flexible arms! TrueDark® works so well that users often fall asleep in the glasses! To increase comfort and reduce breakage, the arms are now flexible.
– If you use electronics (phone/tablet/laptop) in bed to read, this style is the ideal choice; if you read a paper book with a lamp in bed, you might want to consider our Twilights Elites instead.
Prepare for a great night’s sleep
By telling your body it’s dark with the dark red lenses on TrueDark® Human Compatible® Twilights Classic eyewear! You can still read, watch TV, or work on your computer/tablet/phone while your sleep hormones shift to night mode. When your head hits the pillow, you’ll fall asleep quickly and sleep more deeply.
Twilights glasses are also great for managing time-zone shifts, such as when traveling. Another great use is for people (such as new moms) who get up in the middle of the night and need to get back to sleep quickly. For those who live in far northern climates where it’s light well into the night, Twilights glasses can provide “early darkness” for better summertime sleep.
TrueDark® is designed to be worn 30 minutes to 2 hours before going to bed or wanting to sleep. 99% of blue, green, and violet wavelengths are blocked. Choose these if you wish to maximum light blockage while at rest before bedtime.
Combined with daytime use of TrueDark® Daylights™ glasses, you’ll experience 24-hour protection from junk light
When the sun goes down, blue light isn’t the only junk light that can disrupt our sleep cycle, and more than blue blockers are needed. TrueDark® Twilights is the first and only solution designed to work with melanopsin, a protein in your eyes responsible for absorbing light and sending sleep/wake signals to your brain. Without melanopsin, melatonin can’t be released.
Wear your Twilights 30 minutes before bed to prevent your melanopsin from detecting the wrong wavelengths of light at the wrong time of day. This supports your circadian rhythm and helps you fall asleep faster and get more restorative and restful sleep.
Stop Junk Light® with TrueDark® Twilights technology that frees your hormones and neurotransmitters to do their best work.
- Block the harshest blue, violet, and green sleep robbing wavelengths emitted by fluorescent lights, LEDs, electronics, phones, tablets, and computers
- Support your evening and nighttime hormone levels
- Improve overall sleep
- Synchronize your circadian rhythm
Twilights lenses are strategically designed based on research and technology that uses pure, durable, prescription-grade polycarbonate lenses. This results in true clarity of light and consistent junk light coverage throughout the scratch-resistant lenses.
Important Note
Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while wearing. Avoid activities that may be impacted by becoming tired, a change in depth perception, or changes on the color spectrum.

Since I got the glasses, I put them on at least 2 hours prior of sleeping. and with the application on my smartphone, I been going into deep sleep for a minimum of 3 hrs every night. works amazing and my sleep has gotten way better just in few days
Titia –
Geez, that’s unaeeilvbble. Kudos and such.
Dr Viv –
Absolutely sensational ! I am so impressed with the technology incorporated into my fantastic day and night blue blocking glasses l have recommended them to all my patient’s and friends. Just another awesome Dave Asprey recommended health bio-hack.

I’ve been very, very pleased with my TruDark Glasses set….I have WAY more ENERGY and my sleep has improved DRASTICALLY….I can’t say enough about these…VERY HIGH QUALITY…

TrueDark has provided me with better preparation for sleep. Beginning an hour before bed, I feel a real sense of the emotions calming, the muscle behind and around eyes resting. Lying on my back in bed with TrueDark on in, can’t see my hands in front of my face, I drop into a great slumber.

Amazing. I dont use them exactly right, because I like them while I’m driving. I can say that over the past two weeks, I’ve added 1-2 hours more sleep per night since I started using both these and the fancy-framed yellow ones together. I work in a building with no windows, though, so every little bit helps. One of my favorite purchases this year, no doubt.

I expected the glasses to not leak any light in. They tend to leak light through the top and sides

I’ve tried multiple blue light blocking glasses from the orange construction glasses to fancy orange aviator glasses and to be honest, these are the best performing ones I’ve had. They really fully block blue light with their deep orange color and the pad around the glasses that prevent light from coming in on the sides. I can now easily fall asleep within 10 minutes even after reading books on my tablet in bed. These have also been very helpful while traveling to sleep on the plane and help with jet lag on arrival. Definitely recommend!

I have now used these for about a week and seen a noticeable improvement in my sleep quality and how early I will actually feel like going to bed if I put them on. I track my sleep and have seen a steady rise in good sleep rhythms and felt more rested as a result.

Hi Sajid, I’m sorry about your concern regarding light leakage. Everyone’s head is a little different but we’ve found that wearing a hat or cap can help stop light leaking in from the top with the Twilights. For the Daywalkers, some light leakage is desirable.
Chris Keane –
Hi Robert, Thanks for your review! I just wanted to check that you are not wearing your Twilights (the red ones) while driving. It’s tempting to do that with all the weird light and glares that you get while on the road, but please be aware that we don’t consider it safe — the color desaturation makes it difficult to distinguish various signalling lights and can also vary your depth perception. Wearing the Daywalkers (yellow) while driving is fine and very effective.

Have been using mine for about a week now and love them. I can’t wait to try them on travel. And going to start tracking my sleep with them. I’m noticing I’m dream more.
Alisa O. –
The first night I used these before going to bed, I slept the whole night through. Usually I wake up a few times during the night. I definitely feel more refreshed in the morning, even if I didn’t get a full night’s sleep!

I have had the TrueDark glasses for a few weeks now and am so happy with this purchase. When I decide to sit down and watch some TV in the evening, I put them on and my eyes are immediately thankful and feel more rested. My eyes have always been very light-sensitive, and an ophthalmologist told me a long time ago to try to avoid fluorescent light. The first time I wore the TrueDarks watching TV for a short period of time, I peaked out from behind them and was absolutely astounded at how bright the TV appeared! Almost painful!! Also, it doesn’t take long at all to start feeling sleepy. Falling sleep is easy after wearing them. I am finding I do sleep better and am seeing better results tracked with my Fitbit Charge 2 (for whatever that’s worth!). I also have the Daywalker Elites and keep them next to my computer and iPad. I now don’t even look at the screen without them! If I am working on something which requires more acuity, I insert Hydrotac stick-on magnifier lenses into them. Easy. Having no difficulty cleaning the lenses. I just rinse and use a lens cloth. My eyes are feeling much more relaxed. I highly recommend these, without hesitation! The customer service with this company is superb. Five Star thanks to John and Antonio for responding to questions I had.

this is awesome! as soon as I put them on, I can feel a tickling in my brain and an hour later, Im falling asleep even thought im studying on my computer. mitochondria says thanks you :p

Used them for the first time on my transatlantic flight going east. Usually I’m jet lagged for 4-5 days but after using the TrueDark twilight glasses for the entire 8 hour flight I not only for the first time slept 5 hours (never done that in the air before) but also experienced virtually no jet lag!!
If you are flying across timezones this is a must have! And that people are looking at you like you’re crazy in your hat and glasses is just an added bonus.

Hi just wondering if the truedark glasses would work with tinnnitus which I have had for the last 3 months i am taking sleeping tablets at the moment to help me sleep which don’t always work.
Jordan Z –
I’ve tried blue blocker glasses before but these are the best! My body is always ready for a great night’s sleep not long after putting these on.
nickjgaspari –
I wear my custom clear lens blue blocking glasses by day, and about an hour before sleep I will throw on my true dark glasses. Love them and sometimes I fall asleep with them on! You just feel your mind and body start getting more tired the longer you have them on. Love it
Jennifer –
Love the new styles of Elites! Nice, more casual feel.

Cons. Being in the UK I got hit quite heavily with import tax and would have prefered to have paid tax at checkout to save on royal mails handling fee for the import tax which was nearly as much as the tax itself.
Can still see light coming through the top and bottom of the lenses. Design needs tweaking for this and the fact that everyone’s face is slightly different. Seeing/being aware that the light is coming through does leave you wondering if you are getting 100% out of them.
Pros. Around a month into their use and whilst I’m not seeing any increased length in sleep I have noticed I’m wanting to sleep a little quicker after putting them on and I am dreaming slightly more. Time will tell if the duration of sleep will improve with their continued use.

Hi Steven,
You’ll be happy to know that the slight amount of light that leaks in doesn’t actually affect your sleep as much as you’d think! We’ve performed testing using EEG and neuromapping equipment on participants and found that the glasses are still very effective.
Many folks find that our Twilight glasses don’t always make them sleep for longer, but instead do as you described and help you fall asleep faster and more soundly. When your eyes aren’t stimulated by light, your brain thinks it’s dark out and releases certain hormones that assist in regulating your circadian rhythm. These hormones, which include melatonin, are essential for a proper night of rest. Thanks for your review!
