Blue light has a documented effect on our circadian rhythm and melatonin production. It’s been studied quite a bit. I’m sure mental overstimulation is a component, but it absolutely is not the whole story.
In Western society, there is a big focus on silver bullet solutions because people don’t want to address issues in a holistic way. Thus, you have blue light filters instead of turning the screen off.
To what extent is the issue of using screens before sleep a question of mental overstimulation as opposed to specific frequencies of light?
Genuine question.
