This. And use Flux. Blue light after 9PM is the enemy.

Try getting the Uvex S1933X glasses. They work for everything in your view (obviously) without messing around with software, and probably works better too.

I have them, and they're amazing. I have pretty cool LED lighting in my apartment and can make my whole living room any color I want at night. If I set in to pure blue and put on the glasses, it's like being in pitch blackness (except a couple of items glow brightly).

It's not like looking at things with an orange tint at all, even though the glasses are obviously orange.

That being said - the benefits I get by using them is amazing. It's weird how much of a difference it can make, I get tired quickly after putting them on in the evening. If I forget to put them on I usually end up staying up too late, getting too little sleep and often ruining the next day. Personally I find it way more effective than flux.

By the way - blue light isn't just a negative thing, but also a huge positive. In the morning I use a Philips goLITE BLU HF3332, and it really improves both my energy and mood quickly after just a few minutes of usage.

Those two simple items, a blue light and a pair of blue-blocking glasses, have improved my life significantly. Try it out (especially the glasses, it's just $9).

Someone mentioned this on HN a few months this ago, ended up grabbing twilight(Android - I like reading in bed).

It has made a noticeable difference!

Just turn down your display brightness at night.

Personally I can't stand Flux. I hate the false colors it creates.
