Eye Soother(Reduce blue light)

Are you having trouble falling asleep? Are your kids hyperactive when playing with the tablet before bed time?

Are you using your smart phone or tablet in the late evening? Eye Soother may be a solution for you!

Recent research suggests that exposure to blue light before sleep may distort your natural (circadian) rhythm and cause inability to fall asleep.

The cause is the photoreceptor in your eyes, called Melanopsin. This receptor is sensitive to a narrow band of blue light in the 460-480nm range which may suppress Melatonin production - a hormone responsible for your healthy sleep-wake cycles.

In experimental scientific studies it has been shown an average person reading on a tablet or smart phone for a couple of hours before bed time may find their sleep delayed by about an hour.

The Eye Soother app makes your device screen adapt to the time of the day.

Eye Soother is more pleasant on the eyes for night reading. Especially as it is able to lower the screen backlight far below the ability of the backlight controls on your screen

If you have an AMOLED display, you can also save battery!
