If you stay up late and have trouble waking up in the morning you may be getting too much blue light at nighttime. What I mean by blue light is the kind of light that comes from the sun, the same kind of light comes from your monitor. There’s programs you can get for your OS that makes your monitor emit less blue light and more red light at appropriate times of day.
If you’re running a fairly new copy of Windows 10 it’s built into the os you can find it by clicking the search box and typing in “night light” if you have location services enabled you can set it to start at a certain time of day, or if you dont have location services just set a time for it to enable and a time for it to go back to normal.
If you’re running older versions of Windows like Windows 7 there’s a program you can download for free called F.lux.
If you’re running Linux there’s a program called Redshift, which can be found via your Linux distributions package manager. There’s also a GTK version of the program, which you can install which can make it easier to configure.
Another thing you can try is turning down the brightness on your monitor, modern monitors tend to be very bright, even non IPS ones, so try reducing the brightness at night. This is super easy to do on a laptop as it would be right in your OS. If you’re on a desktop you’ll have to play with the buttons on your monitor.
