Read this if you want to sleep better at night

Studies show that very bright light - the equivalent to outdoor early morning light - will increase brain activity. Some scientists believe that the light emitted by a computer monitor late at night can do just that and therefore confuse your body's sleep-wake cycle- particularly when combined with the stimulation of an engaging video game.

You are better to wind down before bed by watching tv( at least 15 feet away to be unaffected by its brightness) or even better to read a book or magazine.
