Incandescents are around 3000K.

Fluorescents are ranged as well, but most people are changing to LEDs these days, not to compact fluorescents in the home.

They also are changing to LEDs based on the color of the light without knowing of the potential consequences of their choice. I'd rather the crisper/white at 5000K over the 2700K, too.

You could just turn your lights off to go to sleep.

5000K looks like shite inside a home. I wouldn't go higher than 3000K. And it's not so much about the color temperature. GE Reveal incandescents are 2750K and have the best looking light of them all. They have a neodymium coating that filters out some of the yellow.
