As for the sleep study. It was a study on LIGHT -- not backlit screens. ANY light has the same effect. If you read with a kindle, and have a light on so you can read -- it's the same. Same as having a tv on.

But I still read at night before falling asleep. Been doing it all my life.

No, what I was reading was specifically about backlit screens because they're held so close to your face.
