How to get red tint on phone

To enable a red tint on your phone, you can use the accessibility settings to reduce blue light exposure, which is different from the standard nighttime mode. Here’s how you can do it based on an explanation by Andrew Huberman:

1. Access Accessibility Settings: Go to the accessibility settings on your phone.
2. Enable Color Filters: Within these settings, find the color filters section.
3. Adjust Color: You can drag down the blue sliders to eliminate blue light, effectively giving your screen a red tint.
4. Triple Click Shortcut: Set up a shortcut, such as triple-clicking the home button, to easily switch your screen to red tint when needed.

This method eliminates blue light from your screen and can help improve sleep quality when used in the evening. Dr. Huberman mentioned that this setup can be done without cost, simply by adjusting phone settings 1.

I couldn't find specific clips discussing the benefits of night mode from the Huberman Lab. However, generally speaking, the use of night mode, which reduces blue light emitted by screens, is known to help mitigate disruptions to circadian rhythms. This is because reducing blue light exposure in the evening can decrease the suppression of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles. It may help improve sleep quality and reduce eye strain when using devices at night.
