To sleep better, a dedicated display mode essential for smartphones?

Habits die hard. The iPhone is
a device withmultiple functions, but which it is sometimes
difficult to detach yourself, even once under the duvet for some,
time to fall asleep. But the experts are clear: the light emitted
through the smartphone screendoesn't help to fall into the arms of
Morpheus, quite the contrary.

This is why it would be interesting to have a special mode
sleepon our favorite devices:

In fact, mobile device screens tend to lag
falling asleep linked tocolors emitted.

Man is an animaldaytime, that is to say it is more
suitable for living during the day and sleeping at night. The body's hormonal cycle is in
effectvery suitable for this rhythm, and thedecrease in
brightness in the evening increases melatonin productionto bring the
body towards sleep.

But the blue lights emitted by the screen of smartphones and
tabletshave an awakening effectand according to experts
counteract the appearance of this hormone in the body. Which then
for the effect of postponing the effect of sleep...until later.

Of course, the ideal solution would beto turn off the phone
before going to bed, but habits and social influence require,
difficileto get rid of this gesture.

But all is not lost! The use of a modespecial sleep
on smartphone, which would change the colors of the phone screen
to make them tend towards a more orange palette, would not slow down
falling asleep, even in the evening under the sheets.

There are already solutions of this type such as the application
F.lux, which adapts to the circadian cycle to change the
screen brightness, for example by decreasing blue tendencies on
evening.

This solution was actually proposed for some time on iPhone using
the compilation tools provided by Apple to enable installation
without going through the App Store, for the most
advances. Unfortunately, it had to be removed from the publisher's official website.
Apple actually asked the publisher to delete its code because it used
internal, non-public programming guidelines (APIs).

Still, the experts areunanimousand encourage the
development and use of this type of applicationto improve
sleep. Apple, we must offer this solution in iOS
10 !

For evening iPhone and iPad users, concerns for
falling asleep to note?
