Yes, that is basically what they are saying...turn the lights out and do nothing for an hour before going to bed. Seems rather stupid if you ask me. Large trucks, dogs, lawnmowers, and screaming idiots are the only reasons I wake up while I am sleeping...but not since I got a good white noise generator.

I hope evolution makes us independent of sleeping. Just keep sitting and watching TV all night, and I think we're gonna make it!

Are we really supposed to NOT have any exposure to artificial light one hour before bed time? Are they serious?
What a joke.
