any thoughts on blue light glasses? or setting your screens to grayscale?

  > any thoughts on blue light glasses? I tried them. They worked well enough, but I don't like to wear glasses so I stopped. Also I didn't like how they cut all blue light, including the blue from the sunlight. It's important to get blue light during the day to help your body regulate it's sleep hormone production. > or setting your screens to grayscale? That's orthogonal. The white part of the grayscale still has blue light in it. Grayscale is good for helping with attention issues, but not blue light issues.

    why attention?

      The OS likes to use color to grab your attention. Red notification dots, bright orange tabs (like on HN), etc. By going grayscale, it limits how much attention the OS (or any other app) can grab your attention with color. I tried it, it annoyed the heck out of me, so I went back. But it did work -- it made me less interested in using my devices.
