In case anyone is interested; here's a little computer screen filter program called "Iris Mini" that you can get for free at this link; https://iristech.co/iris-mini/
It lets you adjust the color temperature of your screen to warmer tones.
Here's a website that sells blue light filters for all sizes of screens; https://lowbluelights.com/product-category/blue-light-filters/

Thanks a bunch! I"m down loading now. Also got the free eBook they offer.

Huge difference! Awesome thank you.

Both my iPhone and Windows10 computer gave me options to change display lighting for nighttime viewing.

You're welcome @silvertipgrizz . I forgot to tell you all that this link; https://lowbluelights.com/product-category/blue-light-filters/ also has the blue light blocking glasses.

Hi @Leslie Carl I use a sleep app "Sleep Cycle" to monitor things that affect my sleep - and i've got data that shows when i wear blue blocker glasses after dark before going to bed, i definitely sleep better.
I picked up some super inexpensive ($10) orange safety glasses and that works great. I also purchased and tried some more expensive blue blocker' glasses, but really, the $10 ones did just as well and were more comfortable to wear as they were lighter.
-
Where can we get the orange safety glass?
-
@Leslie Carl Thanks for the link! Someone had told me about Iris a while back but I never downloaded it. Finally did it.
-
@Marjory Wildcraft Good to know! Thanks for that info. With that kind of price, I won't have to wait as long to get me a pair. 😉

Next pair of glasses I get, I'm going to get the blue light blocking added in. . . In the meantime, I try to avoid it as best I can...It's nice that phones and computers have a feature to block the blue...
