Seth Roberts ("professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley") recently blogged about the wonders of blue-blocking glasses:

These seem worth trying. (FWIW, I wasn't able to find anything like these at Lowes or Home Depot.)
Blue light tells the brain, "You should be awake! You shouldn't be synthesizing melatonin!" That's a problem, because fluorescent lights, modern television sets, and computers screens all generate light with a lot of blue, which the brain interprets as sunlight. For computers you can use software such as f.lux. Fixing televisions and fluorescent lights is harder.
Roberts also likes honey:
