Did you try punching in your folk wisdom into clinicaltrials.gov?

Here's "blue light sleep":

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=blue+light+sleep...

Do you see any affect of blue light on sleep? Or do you see conclusive evidence that blue light does not affect sleep?

There is conclusive evidence that blue light does not affect sleep in any way as large as people expect. We're talking about 1 minute on average change in sleep duration.

Here is a simple search on real trials:

In my opinion:

The f.lux guy is intellectually dishonest. He's been at it long enough. He's got a lot of axes to grind. I don't see any trials in https://justgetflux.com/research.html.

f.lux use by normal people and other similar stuff is a good canary for how sophisticated a person is.

Many, many adults suffer from going to bed too early, not too late, especially older adults, a huge number, millions. People have been trying blue light as an intervention for them, and it doesn't work.
