Reducing Screen Discomfort at Night

Why Screens Cause Discomfort

Using screens in the dark can cause eye strain, headaches, and dry eyes. This is often due to the bright light and blue light emitted by displays. Fortunately, there are several ways to minimize this.

Adjust Your Screen Settings

Use Ambient Lighting

Instead of sitting in a completely dark room, add a soft light behind your monitor. This reduces the contrast between the bright screen and the dark room, which can help reduce eye strain. You can use a bias light or even a fullscreen color screen on a secondary device to provide ambient light.

Follow the 20-20-20 Rule

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This helps relax the focusing muscles in your eyes.

Blink Often

We tend to blink less when staring at screens, leading to dry eyes. Make a conscious effort to blink more, or use artificial tears if needed.

Open Black Screen in fullscreen

Fill your display with a clean black screen screen.
