Advantages of using Notion Dark Mode
There are many reasons why people might prefer using Notion’s dark mode over the original light interface.
1. Eye-strain
During the evening (or in low-light settings), the glaring white background of your Notion screen can strain your eyes, causing discomfort and fatigue.
By switching to dark mode, you’ll enjoy a visually soothing experience as the background transforms into a deep, dark hue accompanied by light-colored text.
This harmonious contrast creates a comfortable viewing environment that is gentle on your eyes, making your night work sessions more enjoyable and effortless!
2. Improving the quality of your sleep
Some people do their best work in the evening. But as I’m sure you know, the luminous blue light emitted by screens makes it much harder to fall asleep afterward.
The good news is that Notion’s dark mode offers a solution!
By reducing the intensity of the blue light, this mode creates a soothing, dimly lit environment that promotes healthy sleep patterns.
3. Battery life
Because the background is black, Notion dark mode uses fewer pixels than the light mode (and less power). Therefore, your battery will last longer on your device!
4. Visually appealing
Depending on your preferences, some may find the sleek aesthetic look more appealing than the light mode.
