I believe what science is saying. I’m just not going to follow it. If I try to sleep without reading something my brain will start ruminating on things and then I’m definitely not getting to sleep. All my reading materials are on a screen.

It’s not a settled issue. There are research papers that show evidence that blue light affects sleep, which is not the same thing as blue light makes your sleep worse.

    It’s associated with dim light you see naturally at dawn and dusk, so it makes sense that it has some effect. But exactly what isn’t clear and it might be a lot of it depends on the circumstance.

I just listen to podcasts at a volume low enough that I have to try to listen, tires my brain out

For me i trained my mind to quiet when i hear wreck of the edmund fitzgerald. I also use sleep talk down videos, audio only, to distract my brain long enough for sleep to strangle it into submission to avoid yhe darkness.
