I used to have trouble falling asleep and a doctor recommended I wear sunglasses an hour or two before bed. I eventually got a pair of these orange safety glasses that are supposed to block blue light. https://www.amazon.com/Uvex-Blocking-Computer-Glasses-SCT-Orange/dp/B01N3RQETD https://www.amazon.com/Uvex-Blocking-Computer-Glasses-SCT-Or... Anecdotal, but I do notice a distinct difference in my ability to fall asleep quicker and the quality of sleep vs when I don't wear them. I notice I have more of that drowsy, "can't keep my eyes open" feeling towards the end of the night when I'm wearing the glasses.

anecdote++ I noticed exactly the same thing with a very similar set of orange glasses. Without them, I tend not to get that drowsy feeling in the night, at least before going to bed. I have to go to bed, and then wait to (hopefully) start becoming sleepy. When donning the glasses in the evening a couple hours before desired bedtime, though, I can be reading a book or watching something on TV at night, and I start feeling sleepy before going to bed, which is a major improvement.
