Yup. I’ve been going to sleep straight after playing videogames, reading stuff on my phone or “watching” YouTube half-awake for years and it’s never caused issues with getting asleep. I’ve been avoiding social media the entire time though.

Hot take: Manipulative and mentally destructive social media algorithms are the reason your sleep is disrupted. It’s what is on the screens that is the problem, not what color it is.
But of course, the tech companies would rather have you blame the color of the screen than their own products. I’m sure they loved adding those color-shifting features to their next products too. not only do they avoid the blame, they get to sell you the solution.

Not necessarily. I don’t consume any social media that algorithmically serve me content, but my sleep schedule is still utterly fucked up. I can easily do an offline puzzle for hours instead of going to sleep for example.

I can stay up literally the entire night with an analog book and dim yellow light. But as soon as someone in my phone starts shining a floodlight directly into my retinas, it’s off to sleepy town.

If anything the blue light filters make your phone easier on the eyes at night, so you can doomscroll longer.
