Christmas is time for uncontrolledNot to mention New Year's Eve specifically, one of the days when there is the most lack of control with food and alcohol ... Now, if tonight when you return home, or rather in the morning, you run to activate the Night mode Shift of your iPhone you have to know that it will not really make you sleep better, the hangover will still be there ... A new study has just stated that Night Shift mode does not help our sleep patterns, on the contrary, it will make our sleep worse. After the jump I will tell you more about this study ...
And the worst thing of all is that according to the study led by Dr. Tim Brown confirms that the Night Shift is not beneficial but quite the opposite. According to this study published in Current Biology, the blue color of the screens is not at all harmful to our biological clock as thought. The blue light would be even more relaxing for our eyes as this light imitates color palettes similar to those we see at dusk. So no warm lights or special glasses to block the blue light from the screens. Everything is a lie…
Now, if you hate blue light, the fact that will give hope to your thesis is that this study has involved mice and non-humans, so the answer with humans could not be known very well. Whether you like it or not, from my point of view it is a matter of habit, you may use it and no longer do it (as is my case), or the Night Shift may be your favorite display mode. Anyway, The new Dark Mode in iOS 13 was a breakthrough against this and I think it has gained the ground for Night Shift.
But the colors of the evening-night are not blue as the article says, if it does not win warm (orange, red, yellow) ...
Any light from an electronic device that we put on at night is going to affect our sleep patterns. The important thing in this case is to decrease it and for this night shift does its job. Or if not, try to put night shift and deactivate it, you will see how your eyes receive a signal and it will be difficult for us to see at first, and we will reconcile the dream later.
The article should work with mice because mice have their metabolism reversed than ours. They are nocturnal and not diurnal beings like us. So it makes sense that for them the absence of blue activates them and relaxes us.
Greetings colleagues!
