i've recently started using f.lux [1], which adjusts the color temperature of the screen based on the time. after a night of coding, i've noticed i've been able to fall asleep more quickly, probably since my eyes adjust to the ambient warm light in the room while coding.

#12What about Nocturne (from the Quicksilver guys: http://www.blacktree.com/ )? Or even simpler, ctrl-alt-cmd-8?

I used it for awhile, but found the transition to be really jarring - it happened over a period of ten seconds.

f.lux is great when it works, but if you plug into an external monitor at all, it seems to stop working automatically. I'd go three days and suddenly realise that I'm staring at a very blue screen at 11pm. This is on a Mac, it might be fine on other platforms.

As another anecdotal data point, I have had f.lux working fine for months with 3 monitors on my Mac Pro (running the latest version of Mac OS X).

You just blew my mind. Thanks for that second tip.
Compiz has a similar feature on Linux, though I think it's not bound to any key combo by default.
