They had them play games right before bed. How is this different from reading right before bed? That's what often messes up my sleep. And I am in my 30s and know I shouldn't read in bed, even though I love to.

I think this just goes to show we're all different. For me, reading is a great way to relax to get the sleep. It's a way of focusing the attention on a single thing, and letting the other distractions fade away, whereas other activities (whether coding or gaming or otherwise) demand simultaneous focus on many different things.
And not to mention my books don't bathe my face in high energy photons... (I say this as another convert to Flux, but unfortunately I fear Flux isn't sufficient: I hear that research has shown just a few high energy photons are sufficient to suppress melatonin production. In which case you'd be better off wearing glasses with a blue filter.)
