Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

Is coffee dangerous because drinking it at 11pm each night keeps you awake too? I think that’s overstating your case, although I think there is a minor benefit to limiting blue light.

personally, I have all the lights set to turn red an hour after sunset and it has had a much larger effect than limiting screen time at bedtime, which is what most people seem to focus on.

Depends how sensitive you are to caffeine. I strongly suspect sensitivity to blue light is similarly varied between individuals. I am not a doctor, however, and I honestly don’t give enough fucks to try to convince you.
