This severely affects the emotionality of information I receive. The aesthetics of one's environment, I believe, is significant to how information will be processed. At first I noticed headaches after reading, using f.lux, but soon after I realized that the sensation was a placebo. What I believe was going on is that my brain was adjusting to the emotional information packed into the content I was reading; a more significant emotional bond was being established between myself and "mere content" not dissimilar to spending too much time with a friend at the café.

Over time, your endurance for it increases, and reading becomes more of an emotional activity, unwittingly.
