Furthermore, mice aren't the same as humans. The study indicates that brightness levels are more important than color. This should not be taken at face value, though. "Our findings suggest that using dim, cooler, lights in the evening and bright warmer lights in the day may be more beneficial," study lead, Dr. However, it interferes with touch in certain apps (i.e.
Sfilter vs night screen update#
Windows 10 Microsoft added a blue light-limiting feature to Windows 10 in the Creators Update released in April 2017. This indicates that we should be doing the opposite of what Night Shift does. Ive tried sFilter and iBlue and theyve solved my screen retention issue. That’s why using a blue light filter is so important. The study's experiments confirm this, with blue colors producing weaker effects on the mice's circadian rhythm than (equally bright) yellow colors. Thus, our bodies are more likely to associate blue light with bed time. The logic behind the study, which is based on experiments performed on mice, is simple: we encounter more yellow light during the day (because, you know, the sun), while twilight is more blue. The study was published in Current Biology and can be found here. And basically every Android phone maker soon followed suit with a similar feature.īut a new study by researchers from the University of Manchester (via The Guardian) suggests that features like Night Shift might be doing more harm than good. It reduces the blue light emitted by your phone/tablet's display, which should, ideally, reduce the strain on your eyes while you're using the device late at night.

2016, Apple introduced a new iOS option called Night Shift.
