There's a program called f.lux that you can download on a computer/laptop, and it senses your current location, looks up time of sunrise and sunset, and changes your screen to warm hues only after your local sunset. It's not distracting at all–I only notice it if I actually see the transition happen. However, I don't know if it makes any difference.
I also turn the screen brightness down if I'm on the computer right before bed, i.e. now.
I love Redshift myself, but he didn't mention taking any such precautions.
(As for difference - well, I've been randomizing use of Redshift since 11 May 2012, so in a few months I'll finish the experiment and look at the results.)
Also, I'm not a he. ;-)
How did your randomized trial with Redshift work out?
It's not done yet. If it was, it'd be written up in the link.
I do use Redshift, actually. Color change at sunset, computer off by 11. The first part's about melatonin, the second is about getting out of my head. Very interested in the results of your experiment.
