Appreciation post: Blue light filters made late-night drafting way easier on my eyes
I was chatting with my cousin who works as a drafter, and he told me his eyes were killing him after long shifts. He found out about blue light filters for computer screens. I gave it a try on my own setup, where I mess with CAD programs for hobby projects. Setting it to turn on in the evening made a big change. No more sore eyes or that fuzzy feeling. I even noticed I fall asleep faster at night. It's just a toggle in your display settings, but it really helps. Anyone else struggling with screen time should look into this.

Totally get what you're saying, my sleep schedule was a mess before I tried the night shift mode on my phone. The eye relief was instant, no more of that dry, aching feeling after scrolling. But the sleep thing surprised me too, it wasn't just feeling tired, I actually stopped waking up at 3 am with my brain buzzing. It makes sense when you read about how that blue light tricks your body into thinking it's daytime. For me, it was the difference between laying there for an hour and just passing out. That's way too big a change to just be in my head.

Fall asleep faster" from a screen setting... not sure I buy that's a genuine effect and not just placebo.
