Windows 11 includes a “Night light” feature that filters out blue light emission from the screen and reduces eye strain when working long hours at night in front of a laptop or desktop.
For people who regularly work at night on their Windows 11 PCs, just before sleep time, Night Light is a blessing. It can help reset your body’s internal clock. When you are staring at a normal display, it emits blue light that tricks your body into thinking that it is daytime and you are not ready to sleep. Filtering out the blue light relaxes your body and helps you sleep easily.
