Best I can do is enabling Night Light

I have it always on, I'm so used to it I don't even notice

[–] FauxLiving 7 points 3 days ago

Yeah, until I go outside and think my phone is dead

Story time!

Some years ago, I had to get up very early for a job. So, to make it easier on me, I bought/built some programmable LED lights and set them to gradually shift from dark red to bright blue-white.

Fast forward some years, and I can comfortably ignore bright sunlight and 50W of white LEDs in my face. I don't even bother to put down the shutters any more. I wake up, semi-consciously acknowledge that it is morning, turn around and continue sleeping.

Oh, I believe it. I just don't want to stop.

[–] RustyNova 17 points 4 days ago

I believe science. But that doesn't stop me from not listening to it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

i believe it, but I don't always follow my beliefs

Before bed I've heard, but right after waking? I thought light was good then for getting you more alert?

[–] shalafi 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're right. Light with lots of blue in it, like the dawn, wakes us up.

Want to hear a dumb story? Been patting myself on the back for a couple of years because I set the e-reader on my tablet to black with dark orange letters.

"That blue light won't get me!"

I just now realized that it still casts a blue light on the ceiling when I lay it down.

Eh, even in "the real world" we still encounter blue wave lengths in the evening. I think it is a matter or reduction (aka not shoving a largely blue light source in your face) than elimination.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Source please, I'm very guilty of this and would love to read up on it.

The first and third apply to TV, radio, podcasts, or possibly even reading. The second isn’t a guarantee (not conclusive for everyone) and can be solved with technology.

The real science here is practicing good sleep hygiene. Your phone is one of many things that can fuck with that; it’s only a small part of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

So before is bad, but after?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bruh I sleep with phone like it's a stuffed animal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Oh God, the truth in this hurts.

[–] ZMoney 9 points 3 days ago

Science: Please stop using the word believe, it's making me nervous.

[–] anas 6 points 3 days ago

I don’t appreciate the targeted attack, this is literally me right now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Look, I believe that dancing naked in the rain increases the chances of getting hit by lightning, but I'm still gonna do it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Science isn't really meant for doggish belief; no need for a flock

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

No worries, I just use my TV instead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Just blame it on your genetics. Then you can use your phone whenever you want because it's your genetics fault.

ISILDUR!
