Use a tool like f.lux to change the color temperature of your screen depending on time of day.
Your eyes will be much happier when it matches the surrounding room, and/or lowering the temperature when it's close to bed-time will help you fall asleep.
Relatedly, for sources of light that aren't your screen, get orange-tinted glasses. Also, of course, melatonin.
Specifically, get these if you dont wear glasses or these if you do. I've read the wavelength charts for these, and know they block the specific wavelengths of blue light that we care about for melatonin.
Not ridiculous enough!
I've now tried f.lux for the past week or so. And now I'm disabling it. I like working late at night, and being a student in a term of revising but no lectures, I'm very flexible about what times I have to wake up. So it made me tired when I didn't want to be which was annoying. It did work very well at getting me to bed though, so I'll definitely reenable it when I want to go to bed earlier.
If you have a late but fairly consistent bedtime, you can set your location several time zones to the west. f.lux kicks in at sunset in your reported location.
Hasn't been very consistent lately. Might try this later.
I've used it for ages but stopped using it recently because in fact my eyes are not happier when I use it - they are about the same. On the other hand it can get annoying when everything on your screen is more orangey than it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know how to make this work with a multiple monitor setup? F.lux and Redshift only adjust the primary monitor.
Well.. no, but redshift is open-source, and ought to be a relatively simple application. I'd take a crack if I had multiple monitors.
Have been using f.lux for years. Highly recommended.
