If you notice an improperly formatted reply, kindly message the poster and gently remind them it needs to comport with the Naltrexone example below. It is simple and keeps things traversable and useful, thanks 🙏

Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

That was directly in response to:

those are helpful altho the name of the game is also brightness

Every night I lie in bed, lights off, using my phone for about 20 minutes while waiting for the melatonin to kick in and my brain to calm down. In a dark room I have to keep my phone on quite high brightness (about 1/3rd of maximum).

Lamps aren't an option at that stage as usually my husband is in the room also trying to sleep. I also find that "warm" light still has too much blue

I think it usually recommends 1-1.5 hours prior to bedtime for it to kick in, eh? Also your phone likely has much more blue than a dimmed (10%) Philips Hue Colored bulb programmed to red or amber. Can you look into Philips Hue bulbs, I have them and you can literally ask Siri to set it to Red (very conducive and non-distuptive to sleep) and set it to as low as like 10% of the brightness capacity.
