You sort of have to go full sleep hygiene mode for it to work.

I use flux, but I also cut all blue light after 10pm. I use 1850k lights (aka candlelight) throughout the house after 10pm. My phone is also yellow shifted and I watch tv yellow shifted too (by only watching from a computer with flux at night).

All those things together made a huge difference in sleep quality.

"Does it help you sleep?"

"Yes. Mainly when I practice good sleeping habits, though."

It's part of an overall routine. Like how they tell you the cereal is just part of complete breakfast, as long as you add milk, fruit, and a some eggs. :)

But then how do you know how much of a role Flux is contributing (if at all) to the effectiveness of that routine?

If I use non-flux screens but change nothing else my sleep is a lot worse.

Why do you go to bed at 1am if you only sleep from 8 til 9am? ;)
