Seriously getting into the grit of what lighting conditions are best for reading? A bright screen, supposedly, puts your sleeping patters out, I'd imagine a bright room would have a similar effect.

I read somewhere (the weird year 12 tips you read before year 12 hahaha) that white light is actually better as it keeps you more alert and that it should be coming from behind you - coincidentally I too have had white light and I prefer it but i'm not sure why :P

I would +100 if I could.

Hmm, I say natural light is the best (i.e sunlight) provided that you study until 8:30 in summer and 5:30 in winter. If you want to study more, then i say white light :D

Yellow light makes you sleepy, well me at least...

I tried bamboo, was too flexy :( But maple wood from Canada is great, that is what I have been using.

I can remember iNerd telling me that white light was best for studying, and he knows his shit so I'd go with that.

Not sure if relevant or not, but when I'm working with a lamp I always point it at all the wall close to my paper, rather than directly at the table. Seems to make things easier to read.
