Microsoftt Windows 10 Update Reveals Blue Light Filter
Can't sleep? Have been staring at your monitor all evening? Hey it is scientifically proven these days, blue light will keep you awake or at least disturb your sleeping cycle. Windows 10 will get a feature that will filter the amount of blue light that is emitted by displays.
Basically the update prevents the disruption of sleep patterns of users when using the computer at night, because blue light can trick the brain into thinking it’s still in the daytime.
The recently 'leaked' Windows 10 build 14997 seems to offer this new function. It is thus expected that this function will be present in the upcoming Windows 10 Insider build (should appear in early 2017).
In the settings menu, the heading 'Blue light settings' is added in which the color temperature can be adjusted using a slider. Also, it is possible to automatically reduce the blue light at a particular time, or in order to synchronize this on the basis of the sunset. The leaked version shows entry called ‘Blue light settings’ that makes it possible to adapt the color temperature through a slider. It also makes it possible to reduce the amount of blue light automatically at a set time or to synchronize this with sunset.

Nice. The creator's upgrade will get a lot of small things like this too.

i was thinking that TV were used for mass lobotomisation instead
sadly no, when i pass to LED i had stress and sleep problem, doctor said use anti-blue light glass at work... and problem goes away after 2 days.
Any thing that stimulates the brain like watching tv before bed time stimultes the brain which will cause sleep issues. Personally i think this theory of blue light is poppy cock.

By that logic the best way to sleep is in pitch black silence. But we know for a fact that for some people that is not the case. White noise or music can help people sleep even though it is technically stimulating the brain. But please continue to casually dismiss actual scientific study because you're so smart.

I have to leave something playing on a screen at night to have any chance at falling asleep at all, if I turn everything off and try to sleep my brain goes into overdrive and starts making me think about anything it can that makes me wake up, reminding me of arguments I had 10 years ago and stupid sh**
Leaving the telly on makes my eyes so tired I can't keep them open, and allows my brain to tune into the droning voice of whatever I'm watching and I'm out fairly quickly

^ So true. But I had encountered some experience of drowsiness when i set my smartphone pdf.MoonReader on bluelight filter setting for reading when the option was available. So hmm~

Actually, it doesn't work like that. It mostly serves to reduce blue light on desktop, ie. browser or any sort of reading you are doing.
If you choose to jump on the bed and fall asleep at the same time, nothing can help you.
However, changing color temperature from, say, 9600, to 4800K (or less) during night (gradually) can alleviate some eye strain and help you, depending on what you are doing or how much are you tired etc.
It does help actually since you adapt to change because you don't even notice it, and if you disable the effect, you can clearly see that it is actually better to have it remove the blue than not to.

Well until you guys start producing papers like this:
http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1000145
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2831986/
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ije/2010/829351/
I'm going to go ahead and trust the scientists on this one. I've been using Flux on both my PC and Laptop and I personally think that it's helped me sleep better.

I couldn't agree more. I've been using F.lux for years as well and its outstanding.
Its a very simple concept that various colors of light not just cause different sleep or behavior patterns, on a more basic level light that is more blue is more distracting. Many studies have been done in recent years looking into the color of automotive interior lighting and how they distract the driver, especially at night. They largely found Rod cells are less sensitive to long wavelength light, like reds, so if you were truely dark adapted (rod function only) red dash lights would be less interfering. So having interior lighting with a longer wavelength like reds/oranges is ideal for driver vision at night. This is one of the driving factors behind the dash illumination in both Audi and BMW vehicles.

Blue light like caffeine affects everyone differently. People have different tolerances to alcohol and the like. Even though it is fact, that fact is not consistent. Blue light, caffeine has no affect on my sleep habits or pattern. I can fall asleep without issue immediately after having several cups of coffee or tea. When tired, not even my monitor has the ability to keep me awake. My body knows when it is 23:00. I do not fight it and listen. Other concerns keep me awake or make it a wrestles night. So for me it is poppy cock. Some friends on the other hand, not so fortunate. Everyone needs to know their limitations and act accordingly. This at least allows those affected to have their cake and eat it too. For them it is a win, win.
