I don't believe screens are bad at night. Too much stimulation might be an issue for some.
The headache issue isn't everyone and even so is more related to larger screens where there are brightly lit moving objects reflected (people in an open plan office, traffic visible through window at an angle where you get the moving reflection. Not much to do with reading at night. I mentioned it in passing as a more real thing than "blue" light, which might be less pleasant than more orange, but won't keep you awake when it's off.
My curtains / window face the dawn so in the summer (and mid spring to mid autumn) I clip the two middle edges so I'm not wakened early. There is 9.5 hours more daylight here at midsummer than midwinter.
Donegal in Ireland is closer to Newfoundland than Greece and that is a shorter distance than the US-Mexican border. They have even longer summer days and shorter winter ones, on Ireland's northern edge.
