[QUOTE="Vman, post: 158729, member: 39209"] I don't know how much of the blue light you can filter using the night light settings. The amber glasses I bought my son filter 98%. I use the night light setting on my PC along with blue blocking warby parker glasses (only block like 50%). But as I said in my last post, this wasn't really my problem with my insomnia. I talked to 4 different TRT docs after I experienced insomnia from TRT. One of them said that 30% of their patients experienced insomnia, heart racing, anxiety from once weekly 200mg cypionate injections. They give all their patients an AI along with their injections and now none of their patients have these symptoms. So it could be the E2, but from my reading on the forums it seems like it's more complex than that as there are lots of people with these symptoms that are on an AI. Are you eating enough? For me I was not eating enough and eating a big breakfast with at least 30g protein really helped stabilize my blood sugar. That along with eating every 4-5 hours and ditching most carbs. For my insomnia I am pretty sure it was adrenaline that was waking me up. When you don't eat enough your body prioritizes food over sleep and pumps adrenaline to wake you up to find some food. Another sign of this is that you have to get up to pee during the night. Often multiple times. I don't know if the blue blocking glasses and SAD light will help you as all they do is restore your body's own melatonin production schedule. If you've tried taking 5mg-10mg of melatonin and still can't sleep then your body's natural melatonin probably won't work either. It might though as you would have higher melatonin throughout the night. External melatonin leaves the body pretty quickly. You might wanna try the half instant, half time release melatonin. Works great for me. [/QUOTE]
