For me, the light doesn't seem to have much effect - but what I do on the computer matters. For example, as much as I liked to watch something in the evening, I now find that if I watch an interesting movie or TV show too late, my mind is still wound up in it when I lie down, and I find it much harder to fall asleep.

Yes. I think that should be the commonly spread advice instead of the blue/red light thing

I still do this sometimes, but I occasionally unintentionally torture myself by programming pretty late and then trying to fall asleep 15m later. I'll sleep, it's not restful at all. There needs to be some period to let brain activity decrease before falling asleep.
