Published: April 01, 2026

1. Blue light glasses (not just any—look for amber lenses) block the worst wavelengths after 10 PM.

2. A $15 clip-on desk lamp with adjustable brightness saves your eyes from screen glare.

3. White noise machine (or a $5 phone app) masks street noise so you can focus on deep work.

Pro tip: Set a "hard stop" alarm for 2:30 AM—your brain will thank you.
