I'm extremely sensitive to screen brightness. I can't leave auto-brightness on, it just never picks the right level of backlighting. Using multiple monitors was extremely annoying until I made a keymapping to change the faux-brightness of all three monitors at the same time.
F.lux is great. I keep a MacBook around solely for Darkroom mode, it's the only way I can use a computer at night without it messing me up the next day. I can't really use my phone for anything anymore other than playing Threes on Dark mode, it's just too bright. I reach for the MacBook if I want to browse Quora or HN. What sucks is that I can't just leave f.lux in Darkroom mode, I always have to switch it on.
There's a 'flow' I can get into at night, if it works right, I can stay awake and aware and intellectually engaged, without sleeping, and the next day I don't feel sleep deprived. It's a bit of a moving target, this last week I've been sleeping really hard.
