Blue light produced by screens is harmful and effects sleep pattern.

Do you have any sources for that? Not being negative here, but last time I checked it was mostly in the realm of hypothesis and broscience.
This sounds like a source. http://www.gwern.net/docs/melatonin/2009-burkhart.pdf

But it seems to be very subjective. And the group that started limiting blue-light before sleep seems to have percieved their sleep quality as quite low, so the improvement might be only correlated?

Both iOS and Android have timed night mode features to lower the colour temperature... or at least apps to do that if not using a recent OS.

I'm not convinced it's much of an issue these days.
