Thanks for this tip! I'm now using this on my computers and I found a similar opensource program for linux called Redshift that resolves some issues with f.lux's linux version.RogerSC wrote:Speaking of the blue light from computer monitors, with my Windows 8.1 desktop computer I use a free program called "f.lux". It automatically changes my monitor's light "temperature" at "sunset" to night time levels (less blue light), and then puts it back in the morning to daytime (sunlight) levels. I find it more relaxing to my eyes during my pre-sleep web surfing, if nothing else. If the blue light affecting sleep theory is actually valid, then it helps in that area, as well. I think it has been of some help in my sleep, but it's hard to tell. I think that they have a Mac version as well, but I don't have a Mac, so I haven't had to actually use it. For something like an iPad, you'd need to actually put a blue light filter over the screen if you wanted to try that out.
I usually go and use my desktop computer for a while before I go to bed, as well, and find the reduced lighting from f.lux to be nice and cozy *smile*.

How do you already KNOW that you're going to sleep badly tonight and hence feel like crap tomorrow?Noctuary wrote: Last night I spent two hours reading my tablet. I slept okay and I feel far better than yesterday. I knew this would happen as well. Tomorrow I will feel like crap.
In other words, if you know before you go to bed on Tuesday night that you're going to feel lousy on Wednesday, is there a chance that part of feeling lousy on Wednesday turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Thanks for reminding me about f.lux. I just got a new laptop and forgot to install it. I just did and find it more relaxing to my eyes as well.RogerSC wrote:Speaking of the blue light from computer monitors, with my Windows 8.1 desktop computer I use a free program called "f.lux".

Re: I've entered a new chapter it seems.
The last time you used your ResMed AutoSet...
was last night (on Tuesday, May 05, 2015)
You had an AHI of 3.77, which is considered technically "treated"
You machine was on for 7 hours, 25 minutes and 8 seconds.
You had a small but acceptable amount of major mask leakage.
Your pressure was under 16.68cmH2O for 95% of the time.

Its been a noticeable pattern. One day I feel refreshed, but fatigued. The next I feel unrefreshed and wired. The only exceptions are those days like today where I didn't get enough hours sleep and feel sleepy. Or those rare two days a month where I actually feel good.robysue wrote:How do you already KNOW that you're going to sleep badly tonight and hence feel like crap tomorrow?Noctuary wrote: Last night I spent two hours reading my tablet.

Dear Noctuary, I have this same issue as yours to deal with on a daily basis. In the beginning I had no problem. I am using CPAP since five months. I had asked the same question here and got to know my problem. It is anxiety. Some great advise form people here on this forum helped me to slowly overcome this terrible mess. I hope you too will.

Its not anxiety. This experience of feeling refreshed but fatigued one day then unrefreshed the next day was occurring before I got the CPAP. Its just less pronounced now.Raheel wrote:Dear Noctuary, I have this same issue as yours to deal with on a daily basis. In the beginning I had no problem. I am using CPAP since five months.
