    nor does it affect the soundness of sleep.

    It’s fun to see earlier examples of corporate gaslighting.

    That thing you experienced? You didn’t.

      imagine a world where if you fell asleep with the “light” on, you would burn alive.

      that was the reality of a world before electric lights.

      In which way does electric lighting affect sleep? If you turn the lights off, no current flows so there’s not even any slight EM radiation to worry about. It’s just inert materials at that point, isn’t it?

        Now that you brought up EM radiation, let me tell you what has been hidden from you:

        Nah. I’m just fucking with you. Not everyone on the Internet is nuts - only most of us.

          But when light bulbs were invented, they were incandescent and much redder and dimmer. If you burn them too hot, the filaments would melt. Therefore there wasn’t much blue light if any released by early light bulbs

            Indeed.

            But electric lights would still have imitated daylight better than candles or gas lights, and human biology responds to what time of day or perceives itself to be in.

        What exactly was experienced here?

        Having trouble getting to sleep after sitting in a room full of electric lights.

            …yes.

            I avoid it whenever possible by setting my indoor lights to mimic the natural local light.

            I do this because a few different scientists have asserted that artificial light affects human sleep patterns.

            I could get you a reference, but I’m not really sure we are discussing this in good faith.

            Am I being gaslit for bringing up gaslighting?

              You use your electric lights to help counteract all that electric light exposure you get all day?

              Are you thinking of something more specific, or are you rocking some kind of sweet adjustable gas lamp?
