**Mini Post** Small Things = Big Improvements

 This is just a mention of how I made a couple of small changes that have made a big difference in my daily life. For one thing, I got a cheap pair of blue-blocking glass (seriously, I found some for $3!) and, it may be the placebo effect, but my eyes feel less strained throughout the days. The second thing was I got a couple of incandescent light bulbs. I'm excited to see if using the bulbs in the evening will help me sleep better.  (By the way, a while back, a tech YouTuber showed how to adjust my Android settings for more comfortable lighting.)

The reason for my trying this stuff is that I've struggled for a long time with insomnia and depression, the first is which seems to be getting worse, I wanted to try something other than more medicine.

There is a lot of confusing information out there about both these items. To be honest, I suspect my glass might be subpar (I mean, they were only $3), but until I can afford better, I'll take the relief - placebo or no. As far as the bulbs, I'm going to only be using them in the few hours before bed or on the days when I am sick.

I have read a lot of stuff about both those types of products. The Mayo Clinic advises other ways to protect your eyes (and sleep) from blue light. Also, I found this list of pros and cons of incandescent lighting. 

When I have had more time using both things, I will try to remember to do or more in-depth post.

Peace
