My phone was giving me migraines, so I made these five changes

Around 2022, I was diagnosed with chronic migraines. Unlike natural headaches, migraines come with a variety of nervous symptoms above pain, such as nausea, light and sound, and difficulty concentration.

When I took enough time to find out what my migraine players are, a few perpetrators have emerged, at the time you spend on my smartphone. The bright screen often causes migraines or increases the current symptoms – so I had to make some changes to reduce the effect it had.

Most of these changes also help reduce eye stress, so that you can try it even if you do not have migraines or headaches from using the screen. Since changing these settings and features, I noticed that my eyes do not take care of you after using my screen for long periods of time. But the biggest effect on migraines was the symptoms of migraines, as I suffer from a fewer migraines resulting from the use of the screen and ensure that I can still use my phone during migraine.

Although there may be reasons that make you want to avoid the dark situation, the advantage is necessary for me. I just used to use the dark situation at night when I was preparing for the bed, but I have now made sure that the dark situation is the default situation on all my devices.

In many ways, the dark situation has become the advantage of access to me. Without it, I will not be able to use my device without risking by firing migraines or making migraines worse.

On Oppo Reno 10 Pro+, I also have the option to set the dark mode style: improved, medium or cute. Since the improved includes most of the darkness, with a black background, I chose this style.

Switching to the dark situation on my phone also means that most of my applications are also in this situation. For a few that has not been automatically replaced, I switched manually the dark mode inside the application settings.

Eye comfort, also known as eye protection or night light (depending on the exact operating system you use), is a blue light filter available on Android smartphones. I used to use the blue light filtering app on my phone, but since Android provided the ability to customize the filter setting, I can use the feature directly through my smartphone program.

I have also been keen to switch eye comfort to the default setting, rather than limiting certain hours. Meanwhile, I always set the temperature as warm as much as possible to improve my comfort when trying to sensitivity of light.

Since my eyes adapt to this filter, it is not dispersed as it may seem. However, the disadvantage is that it can affect the accuracy of the color of the images you see. But I prefer this warning to an alternative to the presence of my phone causes headaches and eye pressure.

I was intending to switch to Chrome for a while now because I want to be less dependent on Google applications. But the lack of the ability to use the dark position on the Android app in Chrome was the final batch that you needed to stop using the application as a virtual mobile browser.

Instead, it has turned into braveAllowing me to impose a dark position on web pages that use the light feature by default. Although many web sites support the dark situation, there are still a few of them have only a light subject. I noticed this more than others when reading news or searching for recipes.

The feature is available to force Dark Mode in Brave’s look settings, where you can choose to enable night mode. “Until now, I haven’t had any problems in getting sites to provide a black background and a white text, which made the change in a different browser worth it.

Although adaptive brightness on Android is useful, I found that light sensitivity often means that the automatic brightness is very simply bright. This is a special problem at night, when I set my screen on 0 % brightness when I am in bed.

The main disadvantage of this is a slight loss of rest. When I go out, a phone screen is not automatically adjusted, and I have to use muscle memory to turn backup. But the main benefit is that my phone does not run the brightness automatically again as soon as it is rejected.

Sometimes, I was using my phone when I started to feel the familiar pain at the back of my eyes, and I realized that my screen was very bright – but by this time it was too late, the chain of migraine began. Therefore, manually controlled the brightness was worth barter.

Although most of my changes are generally straining eye, this identification is more specific to migraines. Movement sensitivity is a common symptom in migraines, and I find that some movements on my smart phone can make my nausea worse.

For this reason I always make sure to set up my offer update on the maximum of my phone (120 Hz). This high update reduces my screen while passing, which in turn helps me not to feel the disease from fake movement.

Of course, the increase in the screen update does not do anything when it comes to watching videos that lead to my movement allergy – such as video clips recorded with a fragile camera. But at least I can pass easily with my phone settings and Reddit topics without causing problems (as long as I am not so quickly).

Making these changes not only reduces the stress of the eyes and the sensitivity of light, but also made my phone much less than the operator for migraines. When you hit migraines, these changes allow me to continue to use my device when I am stuck in bed and I need to catch messages.

If you find yourself a similar experience or suffer from eye stress from using the screen, I also suggest a different way of ways to reduce the effect of the screen use – whether on your smartphone or your computer.
