    Do you use your mobile phone after sunset? Do you use your phone within three hours of your bed time? If yes, then your device might be taking your sleep away. Bluelight from your mobile screens sends a signal to brain to wake up, and makes it difficult for us to sleep at night.

    Setting the color temp of the screen really only requires about 40 lines of C (80 or so all inclusive). sct is a crude utility which does roughly that. I’d say exactly that, but some of the calculations aren’t actually exact.
