Human circadian rhythms are inextricably linked with the secretion of melatonin hormone , the concentration of which increases during the night. In this regard, the melatonin is used for regulation of the biological clock. Also the production of this hormone affects light ripples of blue-green spectrum violate mechanisms of melatonin secretion. And since light screens of mobile devices is a source of blue light, reading from the screen of the smartphone before bedtime may delay going to sleep for at least an hour.
About the harmful effects of illumination says Professor Paul Greengrass, quoted by the publication of BBC. Greengrass, who participated in the study of the influence of illumination on the body, said, but the screens of mobile devices are becoming brighter and more contrast emit more blue light. It is good for use during the day, but at night is unacceptable.
The solution, in his opinion, will be the implementation of automatic mechanisms that reduce the emission of blue light, such as those offered by f.lux.
