When to use this break

  • Between evening classes or study blocks
  • After bright screens when you want a darker visual field
  • Before winding down without opening a video or social feed

How to use it

  1. Let the aurora drift without searching for a perfect moment.
  2. Notice the horizon, stars, and occasional meteor as separate layers.
  3. Use it as a quiet visual exhale, then step away when you feel slower.

Why night scenes feel slower

Aurora Borealis uses a dark horizon and broad moving light to reduce the sharpness of a normal work screen. It is made for watching, not controlling.

The occasional meteor adds a small moment of surprise, while the main motion stays slow enough to keep the page restful.
