This is precisely the reason I'm using Flux (or f.lux) DURING THE DAY to eliminate the amount of blue in the screen.
I'm currently using 4800K. The reason is twofold;
1. my screen now better blends in into the surrounding light and therefore feels more natural to look at and
2. in order to preserve my ability to see blue light. Research has shown (can't find it now, but it seems reasonable) that when you look too much to screens, the ability to see blue light becomes less as your brain tries to compensate for the amount of blue light, in order to give a more natural view of the screen.
Next to that, I'm putting the brightness of my MacBook and monitor that much lower, so it's about the same brightness as the surroundings. Meaning, brighter when I'm outside or the sun shines brightly in my room, darker when it's darker out- or inside.
