#2The part where they spoke about various populations sleeping for around an hour longer each night in the winter is very interesting to me.

#4This study mentions blue light as from smartphones as a problem. My phone has a blue light filter which I have on all the time. Linux gnome desktop also has one for late night coding sessions.

Turned it on just now, thanks for sharing I didn't know that existed.

#6Has anyone tested bright indoor lighting and its effect on their own sleep.
I have some LED studio lights for video work by my desk all the time. I'm wondering if I should just turn them on while I work each morning. From what I can tell:
1. LEDs won't cause sunburn/skin damage 2. There's no blue light risk of them if they're not rates above a certain level of light output and you don't stare directly at them.
I have to check the light rating, but it seems like there shouldn't be negative side effects to this. My new apartment gets little direct sunlight, so I've been feeling daytime darkness more acutely.

For those not using Gnome, gtk-redshift is great if using X11.
I use it on cinnamon all the time.

LEDs could still have all the same issues, it depends on the LED and it's particular output spectrum and the energies for each wavelength. I would check all that before concluding they would be good or bad.

These things are incredible. I used to turn it on for my eyes, but i noticed that when on my laptop in bed, without it on, i wont feel tired at all. I turn nightshift on and suddenly i feel sleepy :)

Additionally Windows 10 has also introduced this option in Display Settings -> nightlight
