Or about circadian rhythm, biological or internal clocks. This article is about the effect of screens on our sleep and how to minimize this effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does it work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every color we see is a combination of three components: red (Red), green (Green) and blue (Blue). The result is something called an RGB color model. This is used in all monitors and screens we look at. T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the blue folder is a bit problematic - a block<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">because it stimulates the production of melatonin in our body. Melatonin is a hormone that tells our body that we want to sleep. Our bodies work according to the so-called circadian rhythm. It&#039;s basically our internal clock. They determine our alertness and vital functions during the day. Thanks to them, we are most efficient in the morning. Thanks to them, the body slows down in the evening and prepares for sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when we watch TV or mobile phones in the evening, our body thinks it&#039;s still daytime and produces melatonin. The result is a confusion of the internal clock and problems with sleeping. We notice it in the way that we don&#039;t want to sleep in the evening or we are completely broken and unrested in the morning. And a long-term lack of quality sleep can lead to other inconveniences later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What with this? Don&#039;t watch for about 90 minutes before going to bed or block blue light.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you wake up groggy in the morning, try not to look at the screen for a while in the evening. Instead, go to sleep, read a book, or talk to someone. Perhaps in a few days you will feel a change. And if not, at least you tried. You won&#039;t miss anything, don&#039;t worry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a complete detox is too much for you, try to at least eliminate the blue component of radiation. There are several options:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>On an Android mobile:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twilight <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux&amp;hl=cs\">https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux&amp;hl=cs&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>On iPhone and other Apple devices:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Function <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night Shift<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 in Settings -&gt; Display and brightness<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>On the computer:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flux <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/justgetflux.com\/\">https:\/\/justgetflux.com\/<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windows 10 can also eliminate directly. You don&#039;t need to download anything, just start searching <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night lighting<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have blue light blocking on both my mobile and computer all the time. On an automatic schedule, the brightness of my screens changes automatically throughout the day. So my screens &quot;glow&quot; with warmer colors - more red.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between &quot;normal&quot; radiation vs. by eliminating the blue folder you can see on this site: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fluxometer.com\/rainbow\/#!id=iPhone%206+\/6500K-iPhone6+\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/fluxometer.com\/rainbow\/#!id=iPhone%206+\/6500K-iPhone6+<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the link will take you to the demo for iPhone 6+)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The page shows the color mixing for different devices and how it changes with night light filters. You won&#039;t find all the equipment there, but for an idea, I think it&#039;s ideal.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And of course we&#039;re talking about all screens, not just mobiles, tablets and computers, but also television. But I don&#039;t know about the application that eliminates blue light. About the only thing that works on the TV is the OFF button on the remote.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mo\u017en\u00e1 u\u017e jste n\u011bkdy n\u011bkde sly\u0161eli o modr\u00e9m sv\u011btle.
