Extrait

Patients with ADHD often report staying up late on the computer, watching TV, or using other electronic devices, all strong emitters of blue light which may be contributing to the delayed sleep onset times seen in some of these patients. Evening use of polarizing glasses which filter out blue light may decrease the contribution of environmental light late at night to delayed bedtime. This is a treatment that Dr. Fargason uses when patients do not want to use sleep medication to help them fall asleep. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment by use of sleep diaries and sleep questionnaires.
