Ten minutes later, she was asleep.
Having been in the same situation as your seatmate I would say - if she asked nicely why not just turn you kindle a few degrees in any direction? When the stars align and any kind of screen is reflecting in your face you aren't going to be able to sleep regardless of how you turn you head.
To stress again, I say this assuming the lady was nice and polite about her request. If so, I would see refusing to move your screen a bit as quite barbaric and rude on your part.
