PHONE SCREEN TOO BRIGHT AT NIGHT?

Use Night Shift

The cool blue light that is given off by most screens (like the one’s on your phone!) can interfere with your body’s natural processes that help us fall asleep and stay asleep. Because of this, prolonged screen time before bed could affect your sleeping patterns. Not to fear! Most smartphones have an option called ‘Night Mode’ or ‘Night Shift’ which replaces the blue light with a warmer yellow/orange light that won’t affect your sleeping patterns.
