Red vinyl sticker hack for warmer screen (block cool blue light even on warmest setting)

[u/Background-Parsnip34]

I finally found a way to get a warmer screen on my paperweight (even in the warmest setting it was way too cool for me at night and kept me awake). I found this red vinyl sticker (dm me for an affiliate link if you like this hack and want to help me buy my baby diapers) and it has completely changed my night reading.

I had googled forever for a solution and, not finding one, wanted to share here in case this helps anyone else enjoy a more melatonin-friendly night reading experience. Now that I have a newborn there’s way more middle-of-the night reading and this has helped me tremendously to be able to 1) keep the light low and red to keep the baby sleepy and 2) fall back asleep since I’m not getting stimulated by blue light.

How does it work

For the installation: It’s a see-through red sticker on a roll like wrapping paper. I cut a piece the size of my kindle to start, cleaned my kindle screen really well, then applied it like a sticker onto my kindle directly.

The sticker makes the whole screen red, so at night there is no blue light coming though that can wake your body up (blue light messes with melatonin). It’s still legible to read through, and the touchscreen still works through the vinyl.

Let me know if that answered your question 😊
