People say? Not as long, not as serious?
To the real point at hand....it's "looking at light" that is alleged to be the problem. So, it doesn't matter if you are reading an email, posting to twitter, or reading a book. It's all reading, and it's all "things that probably don't prepare your mind for sleep".
You know....just like READING a regular book with the light on.
Only...I've been "reading myself to sleep" since I was a kid and I don't ever plan to stop.
Reading on a tablet or phone, at night, in the dark, before going to sleep -- is FAR FAR FAR FAR more comfortable on my eyes than any book with nightlight or lamp ever was.
I have the brightness way down, with grey text on dark background. As my reading sessions can go through many levels of ambient light (you know....the sun is up, then the sun gets lower in the sky, and eventually sets...)....it is SO EASY to keep adjusting my light levels and switch between day and night modes...as needed.
A book needs a lamp or a book light....and I quite like letting the room go dark. I disturb my wife far less with my low light tablet verses having a lamp on.
Readers read.
