Night Shift is kind of amazing

So I updated my iPad mini to iOS 9.3 beta, and I've been testing out the new Night Shift feature.

For those of you who haven't heard about it, Night Shift basically takes the blue out of your screen after the sun goes down (giving your display an orangish hint), helping to get your circadian rhythms back in check. It's essentially Apple ripping off an idea that f.lux (https://justgetflux.com) invented for the Mac, based on research that says blue light messes up your sleep patterns.

After a couple of weeks, I'm definitely sold, and I might stop reading on my Kobo Aura at night. I've been finding it much easier to fall asleep, and it's been too consistent to call it a placebo.

Anyone else try this yet? Night Shift seems like a godsend for anyone who's wanted to read on their iPads at night, but didn't want to have their sleep cycles messed up.

(Note: I'm using Night Shift with both the iBooks and Gerty app in their respective dark modes.)
