Anaheim City Council Resolution Support - AB 91
3/24/2025
Anaheim City Council
200 S. Anaheim Blvd.

Anaheim, CA 92805
RE: Support for Resolution titled: In Support of AB 91 “The MENA Inclusion Act” Dear Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tem Meeks, Councilmember Carlos Leon, and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
On behalf of the California Middle Eastern and North African ( MENA) Civil Rights Coalition, we write in strong support of Councilmember Carlos Leon’ s Resolution affirming the City of Anaheim’ s support for Assembly Bill 91, the MENA Inclusion Act.

We commend Councilmember Leon for his leadership in introducing this timely and historic resolution. By recognizing the unique contributions of MENA communities and supporting state-level data equity, Anaheim is once again demonstrating its role as a leader and champion for communities often misunderstood and misrepresented.

Anaheim is home to over 30,000 individuals of Middle Eastern and North African descent, including Arab, Iranian, and Armenian communities. These communities have long contributed to the city’ s social, economic, and cultural vitality - from their presence in healthcare, education, and business sectors to the development of Little Arabia, a nationally recognized cultural and economic hub.

Despite these contributions, MENA communities have been historically misrepresented or entirely excluded in demographic data, often subsumed under the “ White” category. This classification erases the unique needs and challenges MENA residents face and severely limits access to resources and representation. As Councilmember Leon’ s resolution accurately affirms, representational data is essential for equitable policy design, city planning, and service delivery.

Organizations based in Anaheim, such as Access California Services, CAIR- LA, and the Arab American Civic Council, work daily to address the disparities resulting from this invisibility. Accurate and disaggregated MENA data will bolster their efforts and empower state and local agencies to better meet community needs— whether in education, public health, housing, or economic development.

By adopting this resolution, the City of Anaheim sets an important precedent for municipalities across California.

It is an act of solidarity, recognition, and forward-thinking governance. As the federal government moves toward including a MENA category, California cities must take parallel steps to lead on equity at the state level.

We thank you for your continued leadership and urge the Council to unanimously adopt this resolution. The MENA community is ready and eager to work with you to build a stronger, more inclusive future for all Anaheim residents.

Sincerely,
Arab American Civic Council

Subject: Application No. 2024-00546 - 402 North Lemon Street - Denial of Vinyl Window Replacement
Dear Anaheim City Council, 3/13/25
On behalf of the Anaheim Historic Preservation Committee, this letter expresses our strong agreement with the Planning and Building Director's denial of Application No. 2024-00546 for the replacement of original wood windows with vinyl windows at 402 North Lemon Street.

As you know, this property participates in the Mills Act program. This agreement between the property owner and the City of Anaheim provides significant property tax reductions in exchange for a commitment to preserving the historical integrity of the structure.

Original windows are essential character-defining features of historic homes. Other Mills Act participants invest substantial effort and resources to preserve not only windows but also siding, eaves, fascia boards, and all street-facing elements that contribute to a property's historical and architectural integrity.

While we acknowledge the applicant's initiation of a Mills Act cancellation letter prior to the window installation, the removal and replacement of windows on any structure require a permit regardless of Mills Act status. The applicant should have consulted with the Planning Department before any work commenced to explore historically appropriate alternatives or restoration.

Additionally the cancellation of a Mills Act contract is a 10 year process. Approving this application would set a detrimental precedent, undermining the intent and integrity of the Mills Act program. Therefore, we urge the Planning Commission to uphold the Director's denial and maintain the high standards of preservation that benefit our community.

Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.

Sincerely,
Meghan Shigo, Chair Anaheim Historic Preservation Committee Some people who received this message don't often get email from Learn why this is important Date: 3/14/2025 2:31:16 PM

Do not click links or open attachme nts unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Regarding Application No. 2024- 00546 - 402 North Lemon Street - Denial of Vinyl Window Replacement Dear Anaheim City Council Members,
As the owner of a Mills Act property in Anaheim, I take my commitment to historic preservation seriously. That’ s why I strongly support the Planning and Building Director’ s decision to deny Application No. 2024- 00546. Approving this request would set a damaging precedent and undermine the integrity of the Mills Act program.

Frankly, I’m disappointed that a longtime resident, fully aware of the program’ s obligations, would knowingly violate its terms. The Mills Act isn’t just a tax benefit— it’s a responsibility. Like many other Mills Act homeowners, I have invested significant time and resources into preserving my home’ s original features, including its windows. Those of us who uphold our commitments should not see others disregard them without consequence.

While the homeowner initiated the Mills Act cancellation process before replacing the windows, that does not absolve them of their obligations. The cancellation process takes ten years, during which the agreement remains in effect. Ignoring these terms weakens the program and disrespects those who work hard to maintain Anaheim’ s historic homes .

Approving this application would send the wrong message— that Mills Act commitments are optional. The program is a vital tool for protecting our city’ s historic character, but it only works when enforced consistently. I urge the City Council to uphold the denial and reaffirm Anaheim’ s dedication to historic preservation.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth " Liz" Morton

OC suspended its Trap- Neuter- Return program. It needs to bring it back. OC is pretending there are legal impediments. This excuse doesn’ t hold water, because many other jurisdictions are already doing it. These articles show that it must be done - and how to go about it.

Voice of OC: Why is There No Catch and Release Program for Orange County’ s Cats? https://voiceofoc. org/2025/03/why-is-there- no-catch-and-release- program-for-orange- countys- cats/ While activists call for Orange County Animal Care to reinstate its trap, neuter and release program to help maintain feral cat populations, shelter leaders say that the practice is illegal.

What’ s the city doing about the 10-year contract with OC Animal Care which is expiring in May 2026? By all accounts, the city is getting bad servic e.

In Patch Orange County there’ s a follow -up reminder that OC cities should explore other options immediately, so they don’ t end up trapped in another bad contrac t with the county.

Is Reform Possible? https:// patch.com/california/orange-county/oc -cities- are-badly-served- oc -animal-servic es-reform-possible-nodx Yes, reform is possible. There are other entities ( such as nonprofits) who can manage better than bureauc rats and the inept director.

The study, of more than 1,600 young adults produced in partnership with think tank The New Britain Project, found that three-quarters want stronger rules to safeguard youngsters .

In addition, social media was named as the most negative influence on the mental health of teenagers .

Meanwhile, half of those polled said social media had become worse in the past five years with two-thirds saying it had become less safe.

Dear Friends,
As we enter March, we're reminded once again why our work remains so urgent.

The recent tragic overdoses inSanta Rosa, California—where four high schoolers overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine, two of them fatally—underscore that despite progress, young lives remain at great risk. These events hit especially close to home, as several of our team members live in, and frequently present at schools in, the Bay Area.

While awareness about fentanyl has grown, our latest research shows that nearly half of teens still don't know that fake prescription pills are made with deadly fentanyl, and their knowledge of fentanyl in cocaine and other powders is likely even lower. Our upcoming National Fentanyl Awareness Day represents a powerful way to help change this.

SAVE THE DATE:

National Fentanyl Awareness Day: April 29, 2025
Now in its fourth year, NFAD unites corporations, nonprofits, government agenci es, schools, and families to act to end the fentanyl crisis. In 2024, our coalition organi zed 134 events across 29 states, reaching tens of thousands in person and millions through the media. This year, we aim to make an even greater impact.

How You Can Participate:

For Schools & Campuses: Screen our new 20-minute film, Real Talk About Fake Pills, with discussion guides and classroom materials.

For Families: Watch Counterfeit Pills: You Need to Know (4 minutes) and have meaningful discussions using our guide.

For Companies & Communities: Host a screening of The New Drug Talk (27 minutes) with a panel discussion or lunch & learn event.

For Everyone: Learn how to recognize and respond to an overdose, and spread the word on social media using # NFAD2025.

Join Our March 13 Collaboration Forum
Join our virtual Collaboration Forum meeting this Thursday, March 13, which will focus on the nationwide rollout of our new Real Talk About Fake Pills film in conjunction with NFAD campus activations, and an overview of NFAD resources for individuals and organizations of all sorts.

Expanding Our Educational Initiatives
Brylle Digman & JenniferEpstein
Our Peer-to-Peer Program continues to gain momentum, with student leaders mentored by SFC staff now independently organizing and leading awareness events at their schools. And earlier this month, our team attended the 2025 National Conference on Education (NCE) in New Orleans, hosted by AASA, The School Superintendents Association. We connected with educati onal leaders about implementing our programs in their districts, and the response was overwhelming. We'll share much more about these developments in the comi ng months.

Make Our Miles Matter: LA Big 5K
There's still time to support our team participating in the LA Big 5K walk/run on Saturday, March 15. Your sponsorship will directly fund our lifesaving educational programs while honoring those we've lost to fentanyl.

With your help, we can continue to expand our reach and save young lives. Thank you for standing with us in this mission

5 ways school s have shifted in 5 years since COVID-19
Access to high- quality teachers and curriculum developed by teachers is shrinking. There has been a loss of emotional support for students and a decline in the school use of technology and social media.

By Rachel Besharat Mann, Wesleyan University and Gravity Goldberg, Wesl eyan University (THE CONVERSATION) The U.S. educ ational landscape has been drastic ally transformed since the COVID- 19 pandemic shuttered school campuses five years ago.

Acc ess to high- quality teac hers and curric ulum developed by teachers is shrinking, for example. Likewise, there has been a loss of emotional support for students and a decline in the school use of tec hnology and soc ial media.

As education scholars foc used on literacy prac tices in schools, here are five ways we believe the COVID- 19 pandemic – and the rapid shift to remote learning and bac k – has transformed education:

1. Teachers are leaving, and those staying are stressed At the start of the 2024- 2025 school year, 82% of U.S. public schools had teac hing vacanc ies.

Schools have tried to adapt by expanding class sizes and hiring substitute teac hers. They have also inc reased use of video conferenc ing to Zoom teachers into classrooms.
00:15

Teacher retention has been a problem for at least a decade. But after the pandemic , there was an inc rease in the number of teachers who considered leaving the profession earlier than expected.

When teachers leave, often in the middle of the school year, it can require their colleagues to step in and cover extra classes. This means teac hers who stay are overworked and possibly not teaching in their area of certific ation.

This, in turn, leads to burnout. It also increases the likelihood that students will not have highly qualified teac hers in some hard- to-fill positions like phy sical scienc e and English.

2. Increase in scripted curriculum
As of fall 2024, 40 states and Washington had passed science of reading laws, whic h mandate evidence- based reading instruc tion rooted in phonics and other foundational skills.

While the laws don’t nec essarily lead to scripted curriculum, most states have chosen to mandate reading programs that require teachers to adhere to strict pacing. They also instruct teachers not to deviate from the teac hers’ manual.

RELATED ARTICLES
Tribes, Native students sue feds over education cuts
The Scopes monkey trial took place 100 years ago, but the fight isn’t over Democratic-led states sue to block Trump administration layoffs at the Education Department USC is raising tuition. Howmuch will it cost in2025?
Successful petition forces special election inNewport-Mesa Unified after school board appointment Many of these reading programs came under scrutiny by curricular evaluators from New York University in 2022. They found the most common elementary reading programs were culturally destructive or culturally insuffic ient – meaning they reinforc e stereoty pes and portray people of color in inferior and destructive ways that reinforc e stereoty pes.

This leaves teachers to try to navigate the mandated curriculum alongside the needs of their students, many of whom are culturally and linguistic ally diverse. They either have to ignore the mandated script or ignore their students. Neither method allows teac hers to be effective.

When teachers are positioned as implementers of curriculum instead of professionals who can be trusted to make dec isions, it can lead to student disengagement and a lack of student responsiveness.

This form of de-professionalization is a leading cause of teacher shortages. Teachers are most effective, research shows, when they feel a sense of agenc y, something that is undermined by scripted teaching.

3. Improvements in teen mental health, but there’ s more to do Many of the narratives surrounding adolesc ent mental health, particularly sinc e the pandemic , paint a doomscape of mindless social media use and isolation.

However, data published in 2024 shows improvements in teen reports of persistent sadness and hopelessness. Though the trend is promising in terms of mental health, in-school incidences of violence and bully ing rose in 2021- 22, and many teens report feeling unsafe at school.

Other reports have shown an increase in feelings of loneliness and isolation among teens sinc e the pandemic .

4. Crackdown on students’ technology use in schools
COVID- 19 prompted schools to make an abrupt switch to educational technology, and many schools have kept many of these policies in place.

For example, Google Classroom and other learning management systems are commonly used in many schools, partic ularly in middle school and high school.

These platforms can help parents engage with their children’ s coursework. That facilitates conversations and parental awareness.

But this reliance on screens has also come under fire for privacy issues – the sharing of personal information and sensitive photos – and increasing screen time.

And with academia’ s use of tec hnology on the rise, cellphone usage has also inc reased among U.S. teens, garnering support for school cellphone bans.

But banning these devices in schools may not help teens, as smartphone use is nearly universal in the U.S. Teens need support from educ ators to support them as they learn to navigate the complex digital world safely, efficiently and with balance.

In light of data surrounding adolescent mental health and online isolation – and the potential for connec tion through digital spac es – it’s also important that teens are aware of positive support networks that are available online.

Though these spaces can provide social supports, it is important for teens to understand the strengths and limitations of technology and receive authentic guidanc e from adults that a technology ban may prohibit.

5. Students and adults need social emotional support
Students returned to in-person schooling with a mix of skill levels and with a variety of social and emotional needs.

Soc ial and emotional learning inc ludes self- awareness, self- management, social awareness, relational skills and dec isionmaking.

These skills are vital for academic succ ess and social relationships.

Teachers reported higher student needs for soc ial and emotional learning after they returned to in-person instruc tion.

While some of this social and emotional teaching came under fire from lawmakers and parents, this was due to confusion about what it actually entailed. These skills do not constitute a set of values or beliefs that parents may not agree with.

Rather, they allow students to self- regulate and navigate social situations by explic itly teac hing students about feelings and behaviors.

One area where students may need support is with cognitive flexibility, or the ability to adapt to current situations and keep an open mind. Classroom instruction that engages students in varied tasks and authentic teaching strategies rooted in real-life scenarios can strengthen this ability in students.

Besides allowing students to be engaged members of a school community, cognitive flexibility is important bec ause it supports the skill development that is part of many state English language arts and social studies standards.

Soc ial and emotional learning and cognitive flexibility are key components that allow students to learn.

Due to vague or confusing state policies, many schools have stopped teaching soc ial and emotional learning skills, or minimized their use.

This, coupled with teacher stress and burnout, means that both adults and children in schools are often not getting their social and emotional needs met.

Message of mistrust
While we desc ribed five shifts since the start of the pandemic, the overall trend in K-12 schools is one of mistrust.

We feel that the message – from districts, state legislators and parents – is that teac hers cannot be trusted to make choices.

This represents a massive shift. During the initial phase of the COVID- 19 lockdown, teachers were revered and thanked for their servic e.

We believe in teac her autonomy and professionalism, and we hope this list can help Americ ans reflec t on the direc tion of the past five years. If society wants a different outcome in the next five years, it starts with trust.

Hello,
Proposed cuts to the Social Security Administration could affect payments for almost 94,000 Orange County residents in our district. As part of the White House’ s reduct ion efforts led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, proposed cuts to the SSA’ s workforce risk delaying essent ial payments and benefits.

Retirees and seniors paid into this program for years, and now depend on these payments to live with dignity.

Social Security is not a “Ponzi scheme”— it’s America’ s promise that if you work hard, you will be able to retire comfortably. Rest assured that I am committed to protecting Social Security benefits for our seniors from potential cuts and disruptions. As we consider this topic in Congress, I want to hear from you.

I WANT YOUR OPINION:

Should Congress protect Social Security?
Yes
No
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office.

As I continue to push Congress to protect Social Security benefits for our seniors and retirees, I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washington, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action.

Sincerely,
Rep. Lou Correa

Subject:[ EXTERNAL] Should Congress protect our border? Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Hello,
Border security means stopping drugs and human traffickers from reaching our communities— while protecting legitimate trade and travel. That’ s why I authored a bill to push our Department of Homeland Security to research cutting- edge technologies— like artificial int elligence, machine learning, and nanotechnology— and how we could integrate them to enhance our border security. I’m proud to share with you that my Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act passed the House early this week and is heading to the Senate.

Faster, smarter screening means a stronger economy and safer communitie s. As we consider this important topic in Congress, I want to hear from you.

I WANT YOUR OPINION:

Should Congress invest in protecting our border?
Yes
No
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office.

As I continue working to keep our communities safe and our border se cure , I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washington, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action.

Subject:[ EXTERNAL] Should Congress protect our students? Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Hello,
Orange County students depend on their education to help them chase the ir dreams, pa rticipate in our local economy, and develop financial security. Local, state, and federal funding helps our schools deliver quality education to every student, but the U.S. Department of Education recently laid off nearly half of its employees and put essential funds and services at risk. The Department of Education invests over $ 300 million into our district’ s schools— investing in low -income students, supporting students with disabilities, and strengthening our communit y’s future.

Every federal dollar invested builds a foundation for our students’ success—and losses to the Department of Education will directly impact how much money and support our schools receive.

As Congress debates these issues, I want to hear from you.

I WANT YOUR OPINION:

Should Congress protect the Department of Education?
Yes
No
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office.

As I continue fighting for our students, teachers, and schools, I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washington, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action.

Warning: This email originated fromoutside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachme nts unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Dear City Council/ Mayor/ District 2 (I read that Carlos Leon is moving or maybe already moved - , so wh o will be in charge of the District 2 ???)….

I realize that the City of Anaheim tries to make this Little Arabia section of Anaheim happy – maybe they have donated a lot of money to the City – don’ t know – but whatever it is - they have been able to overtake this section of Anaheim with no restrictions is very concerning……Last night’s Suhoor Festival was ap palling as the peop le had absolutely NO REGARD for the traffic trying to navigate aroun d them – and absolutely NO REGARD for anything else except that THEY WERE DOING…..I could not get through to my house on Orange Ave without fear of hitting a person walking arou nd not payin g an y atten tion to cars. I am app alled that this was allowed.

Did the food vend ors selling food get city health permits? Did the other ven dors get city- issued selling permits? Did this festival get the proper permits to congregate like this? I have to make a comment ab out this because I am just furious that this was allowed by the City of An aheim with absolu tely no ap parent rules or reg ulations nor any overseeing/ direction of the hun dreds of people walking IN THE STREETS absolutely oblivious to cars trying to get through.

I do believe this Suhoor festival took place last year at Rahmadan time also, but there weren’t a lot of prob lems like this year & althoug h I wanted to make a comment abou t if the festival was permitted, I did not. This year’s festival was a mess & totally out of control !) There was absolutely NO REGARD for safety !
Thank you for allowing me to voice my concerns - & hopefully you will respond in some way that it has been rec’d & read.

Thank you,

This Public Comment has three parts… and the third part is the good news. a)
Apeer-reviewed research study was just published, showing how important it is to allow visitors access to the kennels at the animal shelter.

The OC animal shelter hasn’ t returned to pre-COVID access yet.

Journal of Shelter Medicine and Community Animal Health, March 10, 2025 The Effect of Kennel Viewing on the Adoption of Slow-Track Dogs https://doi.org/10.56771/jsmcah.v4.123 or https://jsmcah.org/index.php/jasv/article/view/123 Click on the “ PDF” button to download the full article.

This is a peer-reviewed research study. It focuses on dogs that have been at the shelter 9 or more days. In the 2019- 2024 period, whenever there was kennel viewing there was a higher adoption rate.

Excerpt:

In the period 2019–2024 but excluding 2020, adoption rates were 1.04% – 1.18% per session (with an average of 1.10%) in viewing sessions versus. 0.68% – 0.80% (with an average of 0.74%) in non-viewing sessions. The evidence suggests that kennel viewing enhances opportunities for increasing adoptions of dogs with LOS [ Length of Stay] 9 [days]. b)
The study was quickly picked up by influential newsletters Animal Politics with Ed Boks, Substack, January 24, 2025 Kennel Viewing: The Key to Unlocking Higher Dog Adoption Rates https://animalpolitics. substack. com/p/kennel-viewing- the- key-to-unlocking New Peer Reviewed Study Reveals How Open Kennels Boost Adoption Rates for Dogs Most at Risk The author, Ed Boks, is a former Executive Director of the New York City, Los Angeles, and Maricopa County Animal Care & Control Departments.

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

March 21, 2025
Dear Honorable Mayor and Anaheim City Council Members,
We, the undersigned residents and members of the historic preservation committee, are writing to express our deep concerns regarding the proposed rezoning of properties in Downtown Anaheim. We believe that this rezoning, as it currently stands, poses a significant threat to the historical integrity of our community and the overall quality of life for its residents.

Downtown Anaheim boasts a rich history, with many structures dating back over a century. These buildings are not merely relics of the past; they are tangible links to our heritage, contributing to the unique character and charm of our neighborhood. The proposed rezoning, with its focus on increased density, raises the alarming prospect of these historic structures being demolished to make way for new development.

We understand the need for growth and development within the city. However, we believe that this growth should not come at the expense of our history and community identity. The increased density resulting from the rezoning will exacerbate existing challenges, such as traffic congestion and strain on public resources, further diminishing the quality of life for residents in an already densely populated area.

Furthermore, we wish to emphasize that the older part of Anaheim, including our historic districts, has traditionally served as a source of comparatively affordable housing within the city, particularly for firsttime buyers. While restoration efforts have elevated property values in recent years, this historical role underscores the importance of respecting the area' s existing density.

To put this request in perspective, it is valuable to note that the City of Anaheim spans just under 51 square miles ( 50.88 square miles), while all four historic districts combined encompass approximately 2 square miles, or roughly 4% of the total city area. Imposing a disproportionate increase in density on this small area will have a demonstrably negative impact on the quality of life of its residents. A significant portion of this negative impact will stem from the area' s aging infrastructure, including inadequate and outdated sewage and power systems, police and fire services, and public roads. Existing systems, the oldest in the city, are already stretched to their limits.

Therefore, we respectfully request that the City Council consider the following:

Implement Stringent Historic Preservation Guidelines: First, before any rezoning changes are implemented, we urge the council to establish clear and robust guidelines that protect historically significant structures and neighborhoods from demolition or incompatible developments. In addition the city’ s 4 recognized Historic Districts should be ex Require Historic Impact Assessments: Mandate that developers conduct thorough historic impact assessments before any demolition or new construction is approved in the downtown area.

Incentivize Historic Preservation: Explore and implement programs that incentivize the preservation and restoration of historic buildings, such as tax credits or grants, and the expansion of the city’s existing Mills Act program.

Community Engagement: Foster a transparent and inclusive process that actively engages residents and stakeholders in the development and implementation of rezoning plans.

Density Considerations: Reevaluate the proposed density increases to ensure they are sustainable and do not negatively impact the existing community fabric.

We believe that a balanced approach, one that respects our history while accommodating responsible growth, is essential for the long- term well- being of our community. We urge the City Council to prioritize the preservation of our historic heritage and the quality of life for all Anaheim residents.

We appreciate your attention to this critical matter and look forward to a constructive dialogue.

Sincerely,
Meghan Shigo

So what’ s the best way toto get a full eight hours each night? Here’ s what experts experts say about blue light.

Melanopsin, Melanopsin, the pigment pigment that helps eye cells assess light brightness, brightness, is particularly particularly sensitive sensitive to shorter, shorter, cooler wavelengths wavelengths like blue light, which some research research says means blue light may affect thanthe the body more dramatically than other citedother hues. One highly cited study from 2014 showed that using a blue-blue- light- emitting emitting bookiPad iPad before bed suppresses suppresses melatonin, melatonin, while reading reading a traditional traditional book doesccurdoes not. IPad readers readers started started producing producing melatonin melatonin 1.5 hours later than than usual the the next day, and experienced experienced REM sleep— the phase during which dreams occur and memories are are consolidated— once they conked out, the the study found.

And there there are additional additional caveats caveats to this particular paper, whichpaper, says Dr. Cathy Goldstein, Goldstein, a sleep specialist specialist at Michigan Michigan Medicine. Medicine. The researchers researchers looked specifically specifically at cones in the animals’ animals’ eyes, which detect color, instead instead of melanopsin, melanopsin, which senses light and is central central to the the issue of melatonin melatonin secretion. secretion.

Taken together, together, Goldstein Goldstein says these conditions conditions mean the the study’ s results results apply only to a very very narrow set of circumstances circumstances and metrics. “ metrics. “ For this to get extrapolated extrapolated to saying ‘ saying ‘ blue light at night isn’t bad for you’ is a little bit of an extension,” extension,” Goldstein Goldstein says.

We put the cart so far ahead of the horse” with blue light, agrees James Wyatt, who directs directs sleep disorders disorders and sleep- wake research research at Rush University“ University Medical Center. theIn In Wyatt’ s view, recommendations recommendations around limiting limiting blue light have far outpaced outpaced science science around its effects. effects. There is a valid scientific scientific basis to the idea idea that blue light interrupts interrupts sleep, since research research consistently consistently shows that light of any kind suppresses suppresses melatonin melatonin and especiallyand blue light may do do so to an especially extreme Thatextreme degree. degree. But Wyatt says most human research research done in this field field hasn’ t been representative representative of the way the average average person is exposed exposed to blue light. That is, most most experimental experimental conditions conditions don’ t correspond correspond to the average average person’ person’ s day, and even then they often result in only tiny changes changes in sleep.

TakewhoTake that iPad study, for example. example. While it diddid show show that bedtime bedtime exposure exposure to blue blue light through through an iPad can suppress suppress melatonin, melatonin, Wyatt notes that people who read read on theirneverdevices devices for hours took only 1010 minutes minutes longer to fall asleep than paper book readers. “ readers. “ In over 2020 years of practicing practicing sleep medicine, medicine, I have never had a patient patient come to me and say, ‘ Hey, doc, can you help me fall asleep 10 minutes minutes faster?'” faster?'” Wyatt Wyatt says.

ForuseFor sleep, Wyatt says the the evidence evidence isn’t strong enough to issue aa blanket blanket recommendation recommendation on blue blue light. That doesn’ t necessarily necessarily mean it’s a good idea to use technologybutbefore before bed—any bright light right before sleep can mess with circadian circadian rhythms, rhythms, and firing off last- minute minute emails is unlikely unlikely to lull you to sleep— but blue blue light may not be as universally universally bad for slumber slumber as people think.
