Work easier at night

Staring at a bright screen in lower light conditions strains our eyes and over-stimulates our minds, making it hard to sleep afterwards. There are ways to combat this, though…

1 Enable Dark Mode

If you are running Mojave, go to System Preferences>general and then select ‘Dark’ next to Appearance to invert out the colours of the windows, menus and app interfaces.

2 Turn on Night Shift

This feature is also available premojave. Go to System Preferences> Displays>night Shift to turn it on manually or schedule it to kick in every day. It adjusts the display colours to be warmer.

3 Use Stacks

If your desktop is covered in files, folders, pictures and documents then this feature can reduce the pain of searching for files. Right-click on your desktop and choose ‘Use Stacks’ to group all types.

1 Turn on Night Shift

On your IOS device, go to Settings> Display & Brightness>night Shift to either turn it on manually or schedule it to kick in at a certain time every day. Night Shift warms the colours and reduces blue light.

2 Night Shift shortcut

You can access Night Shift quicker by swiping up to display your Control Centre and then pressing down on the brightness control. This will bring up a button to turn Night Shift on or off.

3 IOS Dark Mode

Well, sort of. Go to Settings>general> Accessibility>display Accommodations and then tap ‘Invert Colours’ and choose either of the two options to trigger an effect similar to your Mac’s Dark Mode.
