Fun fact: After sunset, the color temperature from moonlight is a neutral 4000K.<p>The obsession with blue light came out of a hypothesis based on an analysis of proteins found in the eye, not on actual research of their effect. Further research showed that mammals circadian rhythms are likely more affected by yellow light, than blue light: <a href="https://www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/researchers-discover-when-its-good-to-get-the-blues/" rel="nofollow">https://www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/researchers-discover...</a>

I sleep badly when I try really hard to sleep and I sleep well when I don’t.<p>I haven’t found anything else that influences it.

Orange light synced with the daybreak and sunrise made my life better.<p>So something is odd with this scientific research. Any explanations?
