I did my daily readings in candlelight yesterday and I would recommend it very much. Blocking out all electrical made me focus more and it was overall very comfy. As anyone tried this themselves?

I read in the daylight, on benches around campus, quite often. It's nice. Nothing that burns allowed in the space I currently live in, so no candles. Tea gives a nice smell, though, when I have it.

If its dark outside I won't have a ceiling light on, just a lamp.
If it's bright all around indoors during the evening/nighttime I find it very annoying.

Eyesight worsens with age, and modern people who work a lot with monitors also get degenerative problems with their eyes. There's nothing particularly bad about candles, not to mention that people used to go to bed early after sundown, and wake up with the first lights of the morning. A painter would paint during daylight hours and quit, or only sketch in monochrome, after the best light of day went out.

>not to mention that people used to go to bed early after sundown, and wake up with the first lights of the morning.
thats why i pointed out special case of night-reading/writing.
candlelight VILL stress eyes, monitors suffer from other limitations which CAN stress eyes when one is careless about attitude and geometry. modern ppl lack geometry desu.

All I can find from online articles is the usual shitty online health magazine where Karen, phd in mental wellness explains the effects of blue light and tells you about her personal opinions and experiences with the nasty blue light and how she struggled to fall asleep and this impacted her career and it's totally relatable oh my gosh yes yes you should do yoga and practice mindfulness too, it was definitely worth it to remind everyone of that yet another time

I do the same, I have a reading light by my bed but it's noisy when not turned up all the way so I have to bounce it off the wall to not blind myself at night. Started doing it in general everywhere, it's pretty nice
