Have you tried pointing your phone to the northern sky and looking at the screen? It does seem to amplify the effect somewhat.

I haven't got to get up early, I'm not sure I could do an 'allnighter' anymore though! Is there an eta for it to peak again? If it's 4am then I'm not staying up that late, if it's an hour I think I could manage it.The app is still red. If you haven’t got to get up early in the morning then stay up.
