True Dark Mode in the Lovely Dashboard is more than just pretty colors. Alongside a new theming architecture responsible for changing the colours and icons, True Dark Mode does more for you than you may think.
Melatonin is a hormone made in the body. It regulates night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles. Darkness triggers the body to make more melatonin, which signals the body to sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to be awake.
In extended driving sessions, especially during the late hours, light may be scarce and the mind starts slipping into a night cycle. To counter the effect of melatonin and reduce the amounts produced in our body, we need to reverse the trigger by using colour hues that negate the melatonin.
Blue light not only suppresses melatonin, it also enables the circadian rhythm to help the body maintain alertness.
Switching to the Blue True Dark Mode during these long low-lit driving stints would decrease the amount of melatonin in our body, maintaining alertness.
