The light has an effect during the night as it blocks the melatonin hormone from kicking in. It takes about an hour of darkness for the hormone kick in and make you sleepy. On very long occasional drives it's probably safer to trade some sleep disturbance for a more wakeful drive. If it's your daily commute it'll probably mess up your sleep.

And if it's on your residential block, it'll definitely mess with your sleep.

Yeah, screw that. I wear some cheap blue blockers before bed. I look like Bono but it works :)
