Turn off the TV, get something like F.lux on your mobile/tablet or don't use it and if you need light get something with low-blue output. I searched for a long time to find a room light that avoided blue light and you have options with dimmer stands and certain bulbs. I ended up with some absurd-looking salt lamp that casts a soft orange light and has a dimmer (and allegedly releases magical ions that purify or clean the air -- not buying this last one).

Most products that claim to produce ions are actually making ozone, which is very harmful to your health: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

Ah right, so just replacing room lights. Thanks.
