This is a most useful thing! In this Furlong house, we get far too much light. In the evening we are both on laptops and watching TV just like millions of other people. 

The screens we look at are telling our brains it’s daytime – even when it’s actually night.

Our Melatonin gets totally screwed.

Effects of such disruptions

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Fatigue

  • Increased risk for cancer

  • Insulin resistance/diabetes

  • Increased overall stress level

  • Increased heart disease

  • Increased digestive problems

This app on F.LUX.com has been designed to help us unscrew our Melatonin disruption – and its FREE!
