A while back I posted about the Entrepreneur’s Purgatory; where you can’t sleep but are too tired to do productive work.

This has happened to me on innumerable occasions and it is so incredibly frustrating.

In doing a bit of research and reading about other peoples’ struggles with this I can across a nifty piece of software called F.lux.

It turns out that the blue light coming out of your computer (or TV, etc.) screen messes with your biological clock. F.lux changes the light colors coming out of your computer screen to more closely match your environment.

In the evening, this means softer yellows and reds.

After using F.lux for a week or so it was super clear that it was helping me get to sleep faster, and that before using it, the blue light from my laptop was seriously adversely affecting my sleep.

I haven’t looked back. It’s probably the piece of software that has improved my life the most in the past year. If you are someone who is frequently in Entrepreneur’s Purgatory I highly recommend you check it out.
