Is working late keeping you awake?
Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?
Or wake up ready to write down the next great idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?
During the day, computer screens look good—they’re designed to look like the sun. But, at 9pm, 11pm or 3am, if you’re looking at the sun – it’s going to confuse your body clock and make it harder to sleep.

I came across this handy tool for desktop and mobile. It makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. It even has a handy feature where you can switch it off temporarily when working with specific colours on the screen is important – like when designing logos or websites.
Research has proved how important sleep is for our brain, body and overall sense of wellbeing. If like me, you tend to work late, I highly recommend this simple, free solution.
