I'm just an average person here, but I teach my kids to have a wind-down routine that is very similar to my own—making a quick plan for tomorrow, reading something, being bored, or starting lying down in bed, telling/listening to stories. Definitely no devices or anything that has an LED light or produces sounds in the bedroom. If you have a work/study laptop/computer in the bedroom, start winding down and let it sleep.

    So your anecdata doesn't even contradict the point? Really puzzled by this reply.

    • I’m just being honest. Maybe the blue light is what makes me need to listen to a podcast to sleep but I have no scientific evidence to say it’s the reason for it.

      From what I have read the blue light is supposed to stop deeper sleep occurring. I just don’t think this is the case based on the stats from my Apple Watch. I get plenty of REM.

      Stress and the need to want to have some me time is the greater reason for me not wanting to sleep.
