Using Flux to Reduce Eye Strain and Improve Sleep Quality

For a while now, I've been using a program called Flux, which is designed to help alleviate eye strain, particularly when using computers late into the night. This might be one of the reasons my screen looks slightly orange at the moment - I wanted to demonstrate exactly how this program works. In essence, Flux adjusts its settings based on the time of day, dimming the monitor and reducing brightness, in an effort to reduce eye strain.

According to Flux's functionality, it will start to adjust the monitor's brightness and dimness when it gets into nighttime hours, supposedly helping with eye strain. This adjustment can be observed on my monitor, where the screen appears slightly orange due to this process. However, if we were to observe the screen while actually using the monitor, we wouldn't notice that it looks orange because our brains have a unique way of processing visual information.

Our brains tend to focus on the brightest aspects of what we can see and set those as white, which is an interesting phenomenon known as "white balancing." This means that even if the screen appears orange at first glance, it doesn't necessarily appear that way when actually viewing the content. Flux helps mitigate this issue by adjusting the brightness and color balance to reduce eye strain.

Personally, I've found Flux to be helpful in reducing eye strain, particularly during late-night computer use. There have been instances where I had to disable Flux for image editing purposes, as it can affect color accuracy on screens. Upon turning off Flux, I noticed that the screen appeared brighter than before - this has led me to appreciate how much of a difference Flux can make in terms of reducing eye strain.

Research has shown that looking at bright screens right before bedtime can negatively impact sleep quality. Given this information, it's clear that using a program like Flux could be beneficial for those who struggle with sleep due to prolonged computer use at night. Although I'm no expert and don't know the full extent of Flux's effects on eye strain and sleep quality, I've experienced firsthand how useful it can be.

I highly recommend giving Flux a try if you haven't already done so. Not only is it effective in reducing eye strain, but it may also help improve your sleep quality by minimizing exposure to bright screens before bedtime. If you're interested in learning more about Flux and its features, I'll include the link in the video description for your convenience.

I've noticed that a few viewers have recognized me using Flux in my previous videos - if you've seen me use this program in any of my content, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
