Are you a night owl who stays up long after the sun sets, or an early bird who gets up long before the sun rises? That’s one way to get a lot more Dark Mode time.
I knew a guy who worked for a company in Boston, but he’d always dreamed of living in Hawaii. He managed to get them to agree to his moving to Hawaii, but said that he still needed to keep East Coast hours. That meant he was getting up about 6 hours earlier than normal, and was joining meetings when it was pitch black there. But, for him it was worth it, not because he was a fan of Dark Mode, but because he was really into SCUBA and this schedule meant that he was off work by noon and could spend his afternoons SCUBA diving.
It was probably hell on his social life to be in bed by 6pm. But, the schedule was perfect for diving. He was off work when the light was at its best and could dive 7 days a week not just on weekends.
I kinda fluctuate between both, but indeed; you’ve called out my secret coping strategy. The other trick is just sunglasses though, still that one’s not as effective to dim the artificial lights most of the time, and it’s generally frowned upon to drive with them at night despite the LED headlights, ha.

Damn right; my eyes demand it (I will sacrifice them to change teams if anyone’s offering)
