Have you ever noticed while using your mobile phone at night, a weird blue light comes out of your screen. During day time, the light of the mobile is adjusted to match the sunlight intensity so that you can have clear visibility. But at late night, this light becomes harmful for your eyes. Scientifically, blue light is detrimental to sleep. Blue light awakes the nerves and tells the brain that sun is out. Even if you minimize the brightness of the screen, the light is still present and it sends signal to your brain that you should remain awake. Since, night is not the time to stay away, this blue light reduces your feeling of having sleep. No matter how much tired you are, you won’t be able to sleep because of the mobile display backlight. All of us feel the same way, that despite of tremendous tiredness, we cannot leave the mobile phone and neither can we sleep.
