Sunlight has tons of blue light in it (color temperature of around 5800 K). We are going to be fine.

The catch is that the sun sets in the evening while LEDs continue to shine blue light.
Most people turn off the lights at night.
But not at sunset.
The "cosy warm light makes us sleepy" meme seems to originate in the use of candles for nocturnal lighting prior to the availability of electricity. Their colour temperature wasn't a scientific choice.
