Enabling the night light feature can help reduce eye strain, particularly during the night or in low-light environments. This feature reduces the amount of blue light emitted by the screen, which is believed to interfere with sleep patterns if one is exposed to it for prolonged periods before bedtime.
Most recent versions of Ubuntu come with a built-in Night Light feature. This feature can be found in the Settings application under the Display section. Once activated, Night Light can be set to automatically adjust the screen color according to sunset and sunrise or at custom times set by the user.
