BLUE LIGHTS

You Have to Avoid Blue Lights
Blue light from phones, TVs, computers and bright LEDs lowers melatonin. This disrupts the natural sleep cycle and makes sleep lighter and less restorative. It can also affect the eyes and other body systems.
Aajonus was clear about the importance of darkness. In the Q&A of April 4, 2010 he said the nervous system does its deepest detox work at night in complete darkness. Even a little bit of early morning light changes that process.

Get real sunlight outside as much as possible.
Avoid spending the whole day under artificial indoor lights.After sunset
Keep the house dim.
Use warm, red or amber light instead of bright white or blue LEDs.
Cut back on phone, computer and TV use.
If you must use a screen, turn on the strongest Night Light or Eye Comfort mode, lower the brightness, and wear blue-blocking glasses (amber, orange or red lenses work best).Before sleep
Make the bedroom as dark as possible.
Avoid bright screens close to bedtime.
Do not sleep with LEDs or other artificial lights shining into the room.About the phone
Best option: put it away 1–2 hours before bed.
If you need it: strongest warm/red filter + lowest comfortable brightness + dark mode + blue-blocking glasses.Useful Apps for Reducing Blue Light
Android
Twilight (best choice) – Strong red/amber filter with automatic sunset-to-sunrise schedule. Free on Google Play.
Other good options: Blue Light Filter, EasyEyesiOS (iPhone / iPad)
Night Shift (built-in) – Settings → Display & Brightness → Night Shift. Set to “Sunset to Sunrise” and move the warmth slider all the
way to the warmest side.Windows
f.lux (best free option) – Goes much warmer and redder than the built-in Night Light. Free from justgetflux.com
Built-in alternative: Night Light (Settings → System → Display → Night light). Turn the strength high.
The goal is simple: very dim and very warm light. This supports the deep nighttime detoxification Aajonus described and usually leads to better rest. -

Good post. For Iphones u can use color filter in settings to make the screen completely red and you can add a schedule for it too.

@Zagphy I think blue light during the day is actually beneficial. Blocking this spectrum all day messes with circadian rhythm

No, we get blue light from the sun. Blocking this during daylight hours interrupts our natural rhythm. Blocking at night is best and encouraged. The damage from artificial light comes from flickering in LED's so it's best to minimize exposure to LED lights; bulbs especially. A great alternative is incandescent for indoor lighting
