To schedule Night light in Windows 11, open Start > Settings > System > Display > Night light settings, turn on Schedule night light, then choose Sunset to sunrise or Set hours. You can adjust the Strength slider to make the warmer color shift more or less noticeable. Microsoft describes Night light as a way to show warmer colors at night; its support page does not quantify a sleep benefit or show that a particular schedule improves sleep.

Choose sunset-to-sunrise or set hours
| Option | How it works | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Sunset to sunrise | Schedules Night light around sunset and sunrise. | You prefer a solar-based schedule rather than entering fixed times. |
| Set hours | Lets you enter the times Night light turns on and off. | You want predictable hours that fit your routine. |
Microsoft does not recommend one schedule over the other for sleep. Pick based on whether you want timing that follows sunset and sunrise or times you control.
Adjust the color shift or switch Night light manually
Use Strength in Night light settings to control the intensity of the blue-light reduction. This changes the appearance of the display, not the schedule itself.

To toggle Night light without changing its schedule, Microsoft also documents switching it from the taskbar’s Quick Settings area or from Settings > System > Display.
Why Night light may be grayed out
Microsoft says some display drivers, including DisplayLink or Basic Display, can make Night light unavailable. If the switch is grayed out, Microsoft notes that updating the display driver may help. An update is not guaranteed to resolve every case. See Microsoft’s display and color support guidance.

What Night light can—and cannot—tell you about sleep
Microsoft explains the feature by noting that displays emit blue light, which can keep you up at night, and says warmer colors are easier on the eyes. That is the stated rationale for Night light, not a measured result showing that using it improves sleep. The cited support page provides no quantified sleep outcome and does not establish an ideal schedule or Strength setting.
