I started using this at the recommendation of HN. It has literally been lifechanging for me. I now get up willingly and into productive mode before 9 AM better than 3 days a week, which is approximately how many days I willingly accomplished that between middle school and this summer.

Thanks for your comment Patrick! I know from your comments here that you wouldn't take any product and recommend it lightly so I took your word for it and just installed it.

Well, this is a weird transition for now! My screen is all yellow-ish and it doesn't feel quite right. I'll get used to it but at first, this is surprising.

edit: I should add that, though it does look and feel odd for now, it looks softer on the eyes already. It also seems to accentuate the difference of brightness depending on the angle of the screen on my MacBook. So if I type on my lap, my laptop bounces a bit and the variation in brightness is more noticeable.

I literally cannot tell it is running anymore, particularly for days where I am on the computer continuously. Sometimes if I turn on the machine for the first time late the flash of yellow reminds me this was not the way it always worked, but that is about it.

You will get used to it and if you're ever up before dawn and see it change to blue again you'll be even more weirded out. The hardest part is explaining to other people, but even they've stopped noticing.

PS And yes, it lets me get tired at night easier. I physically notice if I disable it for a game or movie.

How long have you been using it?
