There is actually very little evidence as of now, that blue light emitted by screens actually causes any significant long time damage.

Also most modern phones have this built in.

As someone who worked nightshift for 18 years I really think it does at least help sleep wise. I blocked Blue light a few hours before I want to sleep and when waking Iโ€™d use a sad/sun light when waking up.

I donโ€™t do it now but Iโ€™m convinced thatโ€™s one of the reasons I managed it for so long.

Basically Iโ€™m saying blue light wakes you up and helps set your body clock but avoiding blue light for a while helps you sleep. I was never aware of any claims blue light is unhealthy but I guess it makes sense as you could argue the sun itself is bad for you.

Yes and that behavior is actually pretty well researched. There is a specific band which will result in the brain not getting into โ€œsleep modeโ€ sloppy said.

But there is no scientific proof that it is damaging to your eyes or harming your health in any other way.

Yeah this articles the first Iโ€™ve heard myself of blue light being unhealthy. Iโ€™ve always fancied some glasses that block it like gunnar glasses or something if nothing else itโ€™s helped me justify that purchaseโ€ฆ

And yeah to me itโ€™s pretty set in stone blue light wakes you up.

Good for phones with older versions of Android. Iโ€™ve used it and is a lot customizable in gradience and schedule.

Now Android got the built-in โ€œNight Lightโ€. Still not a reason to downvote your suggestion.

But claiming that without it you damage your eyes is. Title heavily implies it.
