Love this! As someone who spends a LOT of time on information gathering in the health space (new research/breakthroughs/controversies, and many times not-so-new - ancient wisdom and spiritual teaching), I experience mental fatigue and drain from those that are only available digitally such as podcasts, interviews, etc and CRAVE my physical books (and silence)! It really does make a difference for me!!! That and my need to eliminate blue light a couple hours before bedtime or I can't sleep. So I usually dedicate my evenings to my physical books.

Thanks for your comment, Amy!

Yes, I spend a lot of time for work on the screen, too, and I L.O.V.E. M.Y. B.O.O.K.S!!! I would rather spend money for a physical book than get its digital version for free. (Although, I have to admit, digital versions save a lot of time, being easily searchable.)

As for cutting exposure to blue light, especially at night, I hear you.

So even for those who don't need a prescription to see clearly, I highly recommend getting a pair of glasses with a high quality coating of blue-light protection for computer use.
