If you're reading this late in the day, pause to consider your eyes. Can you feel that familiar sting that comes from looking at a screen for too many hours? That's only the most noticeable symptom of what happens to our bodies when we spend hours staring into what's essentially a big, bright, lamp.
If you use your iPhone or iPad in bed and you're having trouble falling asleep at night, your gadgets may be to blame. At night, exposure to artificial light tricks your body into thinking it’s daytime, making it harder for you to fall asleep. Turning down your display's brightness may help, but brightness isn't really the main issue; color temperature is, and that can be trickier to adjust. Bedim is a simple app that makes your device safer and more pleasant to use at night by giving you more control over your screen settings.
