WIP MEC4D - Creations for Dawn 2 and Dusk 2 , work in progress

Same here, first reading glasses when I crossed the 50s line. Oh, so you have turned 50 last year? That makes me 63,072,000,000 milliseconds older than you. Sorry, programmers can only compute time in milliseconds.

I had perfect vision until I hit 40 and it's been a journey. At now 60 years OLD, luckily, my vision hasn't gotten much worse but I am sending off for a pair of readers for my work on the computer as the current ones are just not strong enough. They have the blue light lense tech to keep the monitor light from making my eyes worse off. Can't wait to get them!

The blue light lenses will helps too with the night cycle and insomnia , we should all wear blue light lenses after the sunset, but we need blue light for the day to keep us active.

My monitor has a slider to filter blue light, so my glasses won't have to. Windows 10 also has a "Night Light" mode that removes blue and compensates with red. Very easy on the eyes at night. It can be scheduled, where we set the time of the day or night we want it active. If disabled at night (when display auto-shuts down for inactivity), it's like a punch on the face. It really makes a difference, and I recommend it if you are in Win10.

 

[RAMWolff]

Just set it up. Thanks so much Ken. My eyes instantly felt relaxed.

For those not on Windows 10

I've tried the Windows 10 "night light," and I've tried the "night mode" on my Fire tablet. But I don't find the resulting red tinted screen easy on my eyes, relaxing, or soothing. I find even at the lower settings, it's harder to distinguish text from the background. So, if the intent is to make me feel irritated and stressed, then "night light/"night mode" is incredibly successful.

I don't actually find working on the computer or reading/streaming video on my Fire tablet adversely affects my ability to fall asleep. But then, I keep my room dimly lit in the evenings. I also have the brightness on my Fire tablet set to medium or less, and only increase it to full brightness when watching a video that features a lot of dark scenes. My monitor brightness is also set lower than typical.

Further studies are needed before it's definitive blue light is as big a problem as has been suggested.

It may be that "night light/night mode" is more helpful to some people and not as helpful for others. It could also be screen brightness is more important than the hue of the screen.

For sure, if what you do on an electronic device engages your brain, it's going to be harder to quickly fall asleep.

One of the downsides to the internet is that things tend to be widely accepted as scientifically proven when they aren't.

I often fall asleep at my computer...while playing Solitaire! I also have no problem with caffeine and sleep. I used to drink Dr. Pepper all day and night, and would sometimes fall asleep while watching TV with a glass of Dr. Pepper in my hand...it didn't stay there, though...and that woke me! Diane (my wife) can drink Mountain Dew at 1:00 pm and still be wide awake from it at 10:00 pm!

These are looking great Cath, and the type of clothing which can easily be worn by Dusk2 as well.

Ouch! I'm going to go broke when all of this becomes available! It is wonderful!

I was thinking the same thing....

 

[Miss B]

I think we're all going to be in the same boat with these goodies.

Thank you Miss B, going to make D2M version now

I can't allow that Flint, you will be blacklisted before you run out of budget
