Honestly I also find that I can more easily focus on light mode text when I'm well rested. Dark mode for me mostly reduces fatigue over time, preventing the ghosting after-image that my eyes do if they stare at a white background too long.

If dark mode isn't your cup of tea, you might try just decreasing the contrast of your light background or lowering the brightness on your monitor to get the same benefit. But really, your eyes are yours. If your setup works and doesn't seem to be causing you eye strain? Use that! No problem at all.
