Title: How to turn your computer screen into a virtual fire
Post by: cliff on September 06, 2010, 11:24:33 am
Okay guys I just tapped into a crazy idea
If you go to your monitors setting and lower the blue and green light(maybe just blue) to 0 than you won't get the stay up effect of computers but still be able to see in red.
Anecdotal evidence, as well as Kayumov’s experiment, support the belief that blocking melatonin-suppressing light is the equivalent of going into darkness as far as the pineal gland that produces melatonin is concerned. Putting on blue-blocking glasses several hours before bed time for a number of days in succession appears to advance the circadian clock, making sleep come quickly at bedtime. Because the melatonin flow is of limited duration (not more than 12 hours) it suggests that advancing the circadian cycle so that melatonin flow stops before wakeup time, will accomplish the same result as morning light treatment. Wu8 et al describe photochemical actions that may occur when blue light impinges on the retina that may result in macular degeneration. [See also "Artificial Lighting and the Blue Light Hazard" on this site.] For this reason it seems logical to try using blue blocking glasses in the evening to advance the circadian cycle, rather than blue light in the morning. -http://www.mdsupport.org/library/sad.html

I lowered the blues and greens and I can still see the color blue, darker. I dont have the setting to turn it completely off.
So now, I'm supposed to fall asleep, right?

Please put such topics into the off-topic forum, in future.
