Has anyone tried anything like this?

I have bought a number of eye masks from Dream Essentials, they have great customer service:

I just use the free http://justgetflux.com/ (the associated research: http://justgetflux.com/research.html)

I use it too, but I have heard it doesn't work on ipads.

The website says it works on iPhone/iPads.

Shooooie , that's a new one on me

I checked it out on their web site. Downloaded and installed on my laptop. Not used it yet. But the Ipad version requires you to jailbreak your Ipad to install and use it. And IOS 7 doesn't allow that (yet).

I bought theatrical red gel and cut it to fit my ipad. I also covered my bathroom light with this. It can basically cover anything.

On my my laptop, I also use flux (but I also use red blue-blocking glasses). On my phone, I'm currently using "Twilight" from the people that make Sleep As An Droid but since I'm using the blue-blocking glasses, it doesn't really make a difference.
