I recognise the same thing, but not limited to phone screens. I associate the warm dim light of incandescent bulbs with evening and winding down. I also associate bright blue light with activity and being awake.

It’s anecdotal, of course. But whenever I’m winding down and I see a bright light I can just feel my body wake up a little.

I wonder if that’s actually as physical as it feels or if it’s caused by the associations.
