Hi everyone, and welcome to the new decade! To start this year off, I'd like to talk about the struggle I've been having with using dark mode for everything.
For some backstory, I've been using dark mode for every application I can at work and have been forcing myself to since I was working graveyards. I like the way dark mode looks, and I feel like it's usually easier on my eyes. For the last several months however, I was noticing that my eyes have felt more strained, I was lacking energy by the time I got off work, and I was having a hard time sleeping.
As an experiment, I decided to change to light mode at work. I've been doing this for about a month and have some good news to report. It seems like majority of the issues I've been having are directly related to trying to focus on a dark screen.
So, for anyone that's been having a hard time sleeping or feeling like your eyes are burnt out at the end of the day I recommend giving this a shot. It's worth trying for a week and seeing what happens.
