It's funny. I use F.Lux both on my phone and computer and turn on my light to help wake up in the morning but I've never really thought about optimizing with more than averagely bright lights.
At night F.Lux is usually great. Except when waking up or doing polyphasic (where you actually treat night and day as the same thing). I discovered the program a week after I started Uberman, and a shortly after installing it, I started having trouble staying up during the early morning hours between 3am-7am, where previously I had no issue at all. I am no longer doing polyphasic, so it's awesome - I never get blinded by my monitor etc. I only wish I could make it so that it uses the daylight setting if I turn the PC on at night - so it helps me wake up. As it stands, I get two hours of "you should be in bed" lighting before it finally gives up on sending me for a nap.
Use the 'disable for an hour' option, and repeat as needed.
Wow. Thanks for the idea. Just got instantly sleepy in around 20 seconds after installing it...
That may be the placebo effect.
A placebo effect is still an effect!
You've altered my placebo affect.
