I think it's perfectly reasonable to look at the effects on sleep of an activity that many people use as a way to get to sleep?

I said nothing about doing it in bed or as a way to get to sleep but as a matter of fact I do know three people who used to play it in bed. Around age 12.
The point is that the effect they describe is due to the intensity and color temperature of the lighting, not the location or activity they "studied".
Here's a nice summary of the science of melatonin suppression:

Reading or playing, bedroom or family room, makes no difference. It is all about the type and duration of light exposure; the light suppresses melatonin production and everything cascades from there...
