Circadian light filter: add-on for your PC or MAC

Goodmorning all, we hope you had slept well last night! Maybe it could be better, we know it, but now just a question: “at what time did you switch off pc/mac/tablet/smartphone and you started looking some non-blue-light-emitting surface?” Many are sceptics and think this “belief” of Circadian rhythm and blue lights are things for scientists or just a new business.
