Do aging eyes disrupt sleep patterns?

Do aging eyes disrupt sleep patterns?

As you age, the lenses of your eyes become yellower, allowing less blue light. Blue light signals the sleep inducing hormone known as melatonin. Aging eyes allow less blue light to filter through so your sleep patterns can get thrown off.

Try wearing a sleep mask at night and get at least 15 minutes of direct sunlight within 90 minutes of waking to help reset your internal clock
