Like you, I need to know "why." The same resistance I showed as a kid to eating my veggies (it's taken decades to get over that one). Funny how, "it's good for you" simply isn't a good enough answer. :-) JR, glad I could help!

I've always heard to "unplug" and never found it practical - hey, I'm busy cramming in every last thing I can each day :) For some reason, though, knowing the physiological reasons -- backlit screen and stimulus necessity -- makes the advice seem real and not just something my mom made up to get me to bed early because she wanted to stay up late by herself ... not that I'm bitter or anything ;) Also the idea of attacking my pile of mags is genius...sometimes the easy solutions are the most elusive. Thanks again for moving me forward! I’m behind on my computer reading…just came across this post — thanks!
