f.lux

I used to spend a lot of time online gaming or watching movies, especially at night time after the work. And i didnt even realise that the day after, when i woke up in the morning somehow my eyes were always tired and it effected my performance for entire day. And that kept happening every day, was stuck in a loop.

I realised that i need to get better sleep or increase my overall sleep quality. First i tried just to sleep more, it seemed like obvious answer at the time.. However it was ineffective, i still felt tired and no matter how many hours i sleep, i felt like i needed more and more sleeptime..

So i had to dive deeper and figured out that it was the blue lights of computer screen that was tiring my eyes. Blue light of the screen is actually useful in the day time, however it hurts and tires your eyes in the dark.

And best way to fix it is with f.lux.  It adjusts the hue of your computer’s display so that it is warm at night and like sunshine during the day, depending on the time of day.
