I've had some periods of "intense work on sleep schedule". A big one was discovering that I was on the higher end of caffeine sensitivity (but I can still sleep if I only drink coffee in the morning).
I have thought that the blue light filter doesn't do so much, with a caveat. The laptop screen is much less bright, so it doesn't bother me. It seems like the blue light of a desk screen has a bigger effect. But I also think it is the brain activity of stimulus seeking on the screen itself that has a big effect on sleep. It's better to turn of screens entirely to wind down, or do something that actually helps you wind down for sleep.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoFor me, the light doesn't seem to have much effect - but what I do on the computer matters. For example, as much as I liked to watch something in the evening, I now find that if I watch an interesting movie or TV show too late, my mind is still wound up in it when I lie down, and I find it much harder to fall asleep.
- kzrdude 2y agoYes. I think that should be the commonly spread advice instead of the blue/red light thing
- mattgreenrocks 2y agoI still do this sometimes, but I occasionally unintentionally torture myself by programming pretty late and then trying to fall asleep 15m later. I'll sleep, it's not restful at all. There needs to be some period to let brain activity decrease before falling asleep.
