A 2015 study conducted by Keio University in Japan showed that wearing JINS Screen Night increased the production of the sleeping hormone, melatonin. It also improved the quality of sleep. In this experiment, eight people wore JINS Screen Night and another eight wore control glasses for 2 hours before sleep while using luminous digital devices.
