Are you using your smart phone or tablet in the late evening? Twilight may be a solution for you!
Recent research suggests that exposure to blue light before sleep may distort your natural (circadian) rhythm and cause inability to fall asleep.
The cause is the photoreceptor in your eyes, called Melanopsin. This receptor is sensitive to a narrow band of blue light in the 460-480nm range which may suppress Melatonin production – a hormone responsible for your healthy sleep-wake cycles.
In experimental scientific studies it has been shown an average person reading on a tablet or smart phone for a couple of hours before bed time may find their sleep delayed by about an hour.
The Twilight app makes your device screen adapt to the time of the day. It filters the blue spectrum on your phone or tablet after sunset and protects your eyes with a soft and pleasant red filter. The filter intensity is smoothly adjusted to the sun cycle based on your local sunset and sunrise times.

Twilight user reviews :
Could you please fix the app so that it will not interfere with installing apps? When my phone is done installing an app it ask to click cancel or install, when I try to click install nothing happens so I was stuck for a while until I deactivated the “Twilight app”, once I did that I was able to press install without any problems.
Nice concept. I do think it works but it keeps turning off by itself. I’ll have to go back into the app every ten minutes to turn it back on. Fix this and it will definitely be 5 stars.
The app does exactly what it’s supposed to however it would be more visually appealing if it did not change the darker colours e.g. Black should not turn red… Also it would be useful if you could disable the app from the notification and or set it to reenable at a specific time later in the day
