For LEDs...not exactly a big fan of them. I have a computer in the same room as my bedroom, and whenever that's on, there's blinding blue light shining onto the bed, so it's hard to sleep without blocking it. To give an example of how bright, the small LEDs inside a wireless router still keep me up at night (ironically, I block the light using a Sandman comic book). I'm also accustomed to sodium vapor light, which is easy on the eyes and lights up the room, so I'm not complaining.

Why not just shut the computer off? I'm sure there's probably a long update or two, but those shouldn't be happening every night.

My dad writes articles and watches movies at night, so I can't turn off the computer whenever he's home. Luckily it's only on the weekends, otherwise that computer stays off.
