Our Story

2 : 17 a.m., Tuesday. Phone lit up, eyes blinded, another hour lost to ceiling-staring. After three identical nights I clocked the pattern: every post-midnight screen flash delayed sleep by roughly 60 minutes.

I'd already cycled through blackout curtains, meditation apps, and months on 3-mg melatonin. The tablets helped—until vivid dreams, morning fog, and zero effect on screen nights made them a non-starter. I needed a natural fix that worked with my digital life, not against it.

Blue-blocking glasses existed, but they were built for daytime eye-strain, not the critical pre-sleep window. They leaked side-glare, weighed a ton, and blocked only a slice of the spectrum. So I built my own.

Side-by-side: restless glow vs. calm sleep with SleepSpecs

The SleepSpec Journey

SleepSpec timeline
2017

First Spark

At university I tried "anti-blue" lenses marketed for eye-strain—and slept better for the first time in years.

2023

Light-Bulb Moment

Five years of sleep-tracking proved the 60-minute penalty for late-night phone checks. I began sketching a lens that blocks >98 % of disruptive wavelengths and wraps wide to kill side-glare.

2024

Deep-Dive R&D

Full access to academic journals, 6 prototypes (one so red my sister still laughs), and a 30 % weight reduction later, the design was locked.

2025

Launch

SleepSpec debuts with transparent science summaries, feather-light frames, and prices that respect healthy habits.

Future

The Sleep Revolution

New tints for gamers and shift-workers • Classroom light-hygiene kits • Independent sleep-lab trials • Community-driven roadmap.

The Science Behind SleepSpec

Wavelength graph highlighting 450-490 nm blue light

Unlike daytime computer glasses, SleepSpecs are engineered exclusively for the final 1–2 hours before bed—the window when blue light is most lethal to melatonin.

Our optics block over 9 % of the 450-490 nm band, the spectrum proven to suppress melatonin and delay REM.

What Users Report:

  • Faster sleep onset – natural melatonin flow restored
  • Fewer night-time awakenings – deeper cycles, less tossing
  • Morning vitality – no pill hangover, no extra coffee

Meet the Founder

Angus Kekwick

Sleep-Science Advocate • Relentless Tester

Chronic light sleeper since childhood, Angus logged nightly metrics for five years and discovered the one-hour "phone penalty." After trying 20+ blue-light brands—too heavy, too fragile, too leaky—he designed SleepSpec.

Angus holds a degree in health optimisation and spends weekends decoding chronobiology papers so you don't have to.

"We live in a lit-up world. Instead of ditching our devices, let's out-smart the light."
