They're talking about shit that would have gotten them stuffed in all the lockers in high school.

Ah, here we have a plethora of truths listed so nicely. But, to all this must be added the consideration of the natural variation in night vision between those of light eye color and those of dark eye color. This causes conditions that are but dim for one with dark eyes to be pitch black for one with light eyes.

A valid point, especially since the light oscillation involved in an illuminated display acts as a hypnotic stimulant. They do not help with the sleepiness.

@Haeo

That's true as well. But gradually lowering light exposure is better than immediate transition from bright to dark (which might actually casue alarm).

The first thing to come to mind after reading this was... why would you read a book in a low light environment? But... yes, trying to read a sheet of paper in the dark is harder than reading a glowing screen in the dark. Some of these studies and manufacturer claims just make my brain hurt.

@Haeo

Some people like to read before sleeping. Keeping the bedroom light dim calms their body down.

Since @Hyperdrive obviously needs more time, @Peik can post ahead of him.

@Peik Actually, it's unhealthy to read from a screen. Paper and ink is far safer and less tiring.

@Haeo

Research shows Kindle Paperwhite actually reduces eyestrain when compared to traditional books in low light environment.

Kafka's stories are relatively short, so it's not like you're reading an entire novel of madness, but it can feel that way at times! I would suggest checking the Classic section at B&N, I found that book I mentioned at Hastings for $3.99, unless you have a Half Priced Books in your area, not sure if you have either, but discount book stores are my favorite places to look for books (:

@MacabreFox

Free.

The Metamorphosis happened to be the only Kafka piece I read. Another magical realist author I recommend is Jorge Borges.

Edit: True literary masterpiece.

Well, that was an enlightening line.
