‘Sleeping’ glasses by Izipizi

The French reading glasses label Izipizi has launched glasses with GoodNight© lenses, designed to encourage a good night’s sleep

The independent glasses brand Izipizi (Paris) has launched a glasses collection called Sleeping, with lenses that block artificial light and jumpstart melatonin production. The company says that if they are worn for around two hours before bedtime for 15 consecutive days, the wearer can experience maximum results and better sleep. The lenses are designed to help the body naturally stimulate and promote the production of the sleep hormone and were developed in collaboration with a researcher specialising in optometry.

The plano lenses are available in two of Izipizi’s bestselling frames styles – a panto and a square shape – and are made from “a bio-based material” composed of 45% castor oil. According to test results*, the Izipizi team claim that the results showed that after 5 days the time it takes to fall asleep is halved and sleep is deeper and likely to be more “restorative”.

*The study was conducted on 300 people with mild to regular sleep disturbances who wore glasses for 15 days, 2 hours before bedtime. For more information, visit www.izipizi.com
