Add The New York Post on Google Bryan Johnson says he has a way to help keep jet lag out of sight.
According to the outspoken biohacker and famed longevity enthusiast, you should be very cautious about the impact of long-distance travel on your body. After traveling across the world to Australia to meet his girlfriend Kate Tolo’s family, Johnson took to X to warn his followers about the consequences of travel.
“Modern life has tricked us into thinking travel is good,” Johnson wrote in a viral X post from last month. “It’s kind of barbaric for the body.”
The 48-year-old highlighted research that suggests travel can take a serious hit on the body’s biological processes. Research from Columbia University indicates that those who travel for business for two or more weeks each month report higher levels of anxiety and depression and are also more likely to smoke, be sedentary and experience sleep problems.
“Repeated jet lag is linked to memory-region shrinkage in flight crews, and your immune system takes a hit…” he explained. “This is intuitive because the body runs on a clock. Biological processes kicked off by another, with sleep and sun running the show.”
Johnson suggests limiting travel to no more than once every three months. And on the Blueprint website, he and Tolo have also shared several recommendations for reducing the effects of jet lag while traveling. One of their tips is rather simple and won’t dig too deep into the wallet, either.
Among the top suggestions listed is to avoid blue light, which can suppress melatonin production and trick your brain into thinking it’s daytime. The way to do this: “Use blue-light-blocking glasses to block bright cabin lights. Skip screens. Read instead. This signals to your body that you’re preparing to sleep.”
Johnson isn’t the only health enthusiast to recommend blue-light-blocking glasses for better sleep. Blue-light-blocking glasses are relatively inexpensive on Amazon, with one popular pair by Sleep ZM on sale for as little as $40 after Prime Day, which officially wrapped up on Friday, June 26.
According to the brand, the SleepAid orange lenses are engineered to filter out 99% of blue light, helping signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down for sleep.
Designed to be worn for one to two hours before bed while watching TV, scrolling on your phone, or reading, these glasses come with four interchangeable lens colors tailored for sleep support, eye relief, everyday comfort and relaxation.
The lenses can be easily swapped out, making it simple to adjust them based on your environment or changing needs. Reviewers have reported that they’re very effective, with some even purchasing them specifically for travel.
“These Sleep ZM blue light glasses are a game changer!” one user exclaimed. “The interchangeable lenses make it easy to adjust for different lighting, and they’re very comfortable to wear for long periods. I’ve noticed less eye strain and better sleep. Great quality and very practical!”
Each pair of glasses comes with a cleaning cloth and a carry bag.
Perfect for vlogging all your trips and adventures, this top-rated camera with 4K video streaming and built‑in wide-angle zoom is on sale for $100 off on Amazon.
