In addition, I'd recommend installing Flux on your computers and enabling Night Shift on your iPhones and iPads to adjust your display color based on time of day to reduce eye strain and amount of blue light exposure close to bedtime. Note that those should be temporarily disabled if doing any color-sensitive work :)

That's right. macOS Sierra (and above) and Windows 10 both have native support for this feature. It's just the matter of enabling it and setting it up. For Linux, I use redshift and I highly recommend it.
Thanks for your input

Flux is really helpful in avoiding blue light entering your eyes. I have been using it for over 6 months now. And my eyes are less strained compared to earlier on a daily basis.
