There has been some scientific research in the recent past that using backlit displays can have a negative impact on one's ability to sleep. One of these days I need to track the study down and read it. I should ask the professor at work that does sleep research if she knows anything about it.
My own personal experience tends to make me believe it. Normal life I tend to spend a lot of time on a computer, even to late at night. However, when I'm on vacation, I spend no time at all on a computer, and find I can get to sleep a *lot* earlier than I normally can.
