Recent studies such as this one have revealed the blue light that’s emitted from your computer or smartphone screen might be keeping you up at night by disrupting your circadian system. Lack of sleep leaves you feeling tired and less focused all day and can lead to health issues.
Windows 10 includes a feature called Night Light which is similar to Night Shift on Apple devices. When Night Light is turned on, your display shows warmer colors that are easier on your eyes and shows less blue light, so there’s less disruption on your circadian system.
