Sleep-aiding f.lux is coming to Android (root required)

Blue light keeps you awake. It’s science. While it’s useful during the day to keep us booseted and focused, light on the blue end of the spectrum of visible light is “uniquely detrimental” to our sleep, according to Psychology Today. With many of us glued to our screens well past sunset, the transition from Concentration Mode to Sleep Mode is pretty jarring for our brains, which didn’t evolve with post-dusk light in the mix. This effect explains the massive popularity of f.lux, a computer app that gradually tilts your screen’s color away from blues and into reddish tones over the course of the evening. Now that sleep-aiding magic is coming to Android.
