The biggest benefit of Night Shift to me is that warm light is much less painful in a dim room than bluer light. I don't like my wife's car except for one feature: the dashboard lights are all orange rather than the standard white/blue, which is much nicer when driving at night.
- 4ad 2y agoIf you find light painful it means the light is too bright. Changing the color of the light is a bandaid. In my experience people use screens which are way, way too bright, and also they use computers in the dark when they shouldn't. Use bias lighting behind your screen. (Of course there are use cases where you want full darkness, like watching movies.) In the evening on my mac I use 1/16 brightness, and when the room is completely dark my iPhone is set to minimum brightness. Set your screen brightness such that it matches a white piece of paper put next to it.

- m463 2y agoHonestly, I think "painful" might not be the right word. I honestly think the lighting is more mood lighting to me. The night shift lighting matches a calm down get dim before bed, and the blue light is crisp and bright matching waking up.
