I've started getting away from the computer after 9PM. I have found I sleep a lot better, no more staying up until 1 AM just to watch a few more minutes of whatever garbage I'm watching/reading ....

Windows allows the setting of "night light", which reduces blue light exposure. It's designed to be used at night, but my computers are set to turn it on at 5AM and off at 4AM, so it's on all the time. I think it also reduces eye strain.Yep. Limiting blue light exposure (TV, computer, cell or other video screens) for about 1-2 hours before sleep is proven by research to improve sleep experience and quality. Video screens mess with our metabolic clock.

Understood. IME the night light feature helps, but I agree -- avoiding exposure completely is the most effective.The studies did not utilize this feature. We curtail our blue light exposure before bed, and it works. That also includes fluorescent lights.
