Why dimming matters: a study of Night Shift found that changing the color alone may not be enough to reduce the screen's effect on melatonin, the sleep hormone. Brightness matters too.
Filters aren't enough. Take a break.
Warmer colors don't rest your eyes. Looking away does. Every 20 minutes, Mellow covers the screen for 20 seconds. Busy? You can skip it or push it back 5 minutes. Your eyes would rather you didn't.
In a 2023 study, two weeks of 20-20-20 break reminders reduced eye strain and dry-eye symptoms.
