Almost all the suggestions here are videos. Who wants light from a screen keeping them awake when they are trying to sleep? Put on some very quiet music instead. Best for me is when it's something I know pretty well.
I have a giant monitor and just press two buttons and it turns the brightness and contrast all the way down to where it’s just visible enough to watch and barely illuminate the room, but dark enough to have hella darkness with my eyes closed.
I usually just have an earbud in and face the screen of my phone/tablet down on the nightstand.
My phone display doesn't keep me awake. Either the effects of blue light are overblown or I'm immune.
...dark mode text while lying in repose on my side usually does the trick for me, but then i wake up later with a drained ipad propped against the wall...
