      It’s one of the markers that your brain uses to control its circadian rhythms. During half of your 24 hour cycle its fine. Our devices push that balance too far though, contributing to stress and insomnia by disrupting that regulatory mechanism.

      Wouldn’t be too different from living in the artic circle during the summertime, except without blackout shades and we’re doing it to ourselves with tvs, computers and mobile devices.

        Mmh i can see that yeah that can be a bit of a stressor, but idk… it’s already known to be “less than ideal”, blue light filters are super common and the body is pretty good at regulating and adjusting sleep.

        Buuut i guess that’s what we thought about other issues too.
