I'm pretty sure all this "blue light screws up your brain for sleep" is complete hornswaggle nonsense.
I CAN understand why bright light of any color temperature could muck up getting to sleep but I think that's about it.
On taping over bright LEDs that don't need to be there though, that I'm with you on.
When people say "screws up your sleep" they are talking about getting to sleep. Not that having blue light while you are sleeping impacts that sleep.
Your linked article agrees with that. What it disagrees with is the idea that blue light damages your eyes, which isn't relevant there.
Re-read the article you linked. It doesn't say what you think it does. It says that there's no risk of damaging your eyes with blue light. She do say that the blue light from screens CAN disturb your sleep pattern.
The link you posted supports the usual claim:
I've never heard the claim that blue light damages eyes, only that it affects sleep-related biomechanisms.
Fair.
The link you posted literally says that blue light is bad for your sleep.
That's what happens when you only read the first paragraph and let your confirmation bias get satiated
My maybe it is, but having an erearder that puts out a nice orangey light when I'm reading in the dark is way better than the damned clinic blue lights the Kindle Paperwhite originated with.
Though your link refutes your point. It specifically says it makes it harder to go to sleep. That's the only part about sleeping we even really care about
You're correct. Maybe my personal experiences don't align with others', or I just sleep like @$#^ because I'm old now. :/
The article you linked has nothing to do with the issue at hand. That specifically talks about whether blue light is causing damage to your eyes, which there isn't any evidence of and which I wasn't claiming at all in my OP.
But there is clear evidence that blue light exposure impacts our circadian rhythm, and therefore how well we sleep. Blue light can also help us, when exposed to us at the right times. There are dozens of studies about this, it's quite easy to find them. Anecdotally, I notice a BIG difference in how well I sleep in a room which is as dark as I can make it and in a room with even one single blue LED in it. I sleep better the darker the room. That lines up with what the science has shown.
