Do you guys use a blue light filter?

[Fortuna]

My monitor has a blue light filter settings and I just set it to max, but honestly I notice very little difference besides slightly more orange colors.

Your eyes are supposed to get used to it.

Isnt this obvious though
It's on the same level as saying not snorting crack at all is better than snorting less

Maybe it's just the fact I'm a vyvanse-fueled monster but I have no problems with going to bed at 12 AM and waking up at 6:30 AM

Like, do you wake up with an alarm or do you just wake up naturally?

But is the study peer reviewed and fact checked by snopes?

I wake up 15 minutes before my alarm clock goes off every single day

Don't you feel tired earlier?

Early to rise, early in the sack

I think I would actually die if I only had 6 hours of sleep every day. I am envious.

I don't use filters because I have blue light blocking lenses

I was larping tbh, i only get 6 hours like half the week. The past few nights ive been sleeping 8-9 to pay off my sleep "debt".
I used to go to bed at 9 PM and wake up at 4 AM in high school so i could play games before leaving, but it was very taxing on my body.

Dude, you think sleeping 9 is paying off your debt? If I get 8 or 9 hours of sleep I'm even more exhausted than usual all day.

I usually get like 5 hours of sleep per night but then take an hour long nap in the college library to catch up on my sleep for the day and then I'm all good.

How??

 

[Steve]

How??

I like to go to bed around 1 and then wake up at 6 something which is enough and there's this really nice secluded corner in the library where I can jive to some music and take a nap around 8 oclock, this keeps me up for my whole day.

Don't you feel tired? Can you even do anything productive?

Yeah we all get tired sometimes but the sleep I get is enough to keep me going all day long, my thing is if I'm working on a task I won't fall asleep, its only doing nothing that will get me tired and I mostly like to do work at night because that's when my ideas come and I'm most active, that tires me out for bed.

But I don't get how you can do work on things when you're tired. If I'm tired I'm done for the day and it's a very unproductive day for me.

I used to get 12 hours of sleep a day but I get like 8 now because I want to stay up and play my heckin video games or whatever

There's nothing more refreshing than waking up after a 16 hour sleep. The time spent sleeping more than makes up for itself in how much I can get done when I'm not tired.

I think you need to get more rest because if you can not function while tired that's a serious problem and you probably wanna bring it up the next time you see a doctor because constant drowsiness can be a sign of greater health issues.
