Furthermore, interesting research by Salesforce showed that dark mode enables users to make faster and more accurate decisions with graphics in dark mode.

As a data analyst, your digital screen may often have an overwhelming number of tabs and pages open, which can interfere with how we work. Turning on Power Bi dark mode can help sharpen your focus on the most critical details. It is a must-have solution for developing a distraction-free working environment.
- The dark mode supports your sleep health
Unlike the harsh, awful white background, dark backgrounds mimic the surrounding ambiance at night. Furthermore, it cuts down exposure to blue light rays. Simulating the night’s atmosphere and minimizing blue light rays allows your body to continue releasing the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, enabling you to fall asleep quickly.
- The dark mode supports your overall health
Reduced melatonin production caused by continuous exposure to blue light has been linked with various health problems, including obesity, headaches, insomnia, and neck and spine sprain. Hence, when dark mode minimizes blue light exposure, it supports your health positively.
