A big of black gaffers tape takes care of that for me. Electrical tape in a pinch. If I use white gaffers tape, it significantly cuts the light but is still visible when I'm looking right at it.
How many people outside of production work a) knows what gaff is, b) where to get it, c) uses it with a pair of scissors?
I even hate laptop/modem/smoke detector lights.
There was a time when it seemed like every new device had to have an always-on blue LED. Escaping blue light at night was an effort. These days small white LEDs are in fashion, which I find much more tolerable.
This article refers to "moderate" (100 lx) light exposure - this amounts to an overhead light on in the room for the entire duration of sleep. I would say an overhead light is a significant amount of light, but wonder how low the threshold is for sleep disruptions. Living in an urban environment, there's a non-negligible amount of ambient light that makes its way in. I don't use a set of blackout curtains, but I know…
> I don't use a set of blackout curtains, but I know several friends that say it makes a real difference. Maybe a year ago, I was planning on having a sleep study done. At some point in my 30s I stopped feeling like I was recovering when I slept. I decided, however, that there were some things that I could work on improving before having a sleep study. Most of what I addressed falls under sleep hygiene: Blackout curt…

Could you suggest one? Maybe one that doesn't uncomfortably push your eyeballs in

I find these stickers helpful for a ton of little lights in the bedroom LIGHT DIMS Black Out Edition - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009WSN8PK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_...
Grabs wheel, jerks hard left: Oh my those are some fun images! The art on a lot of Amazon listings are just hillarious. Some are down right creepy. The 6th image for this listing has a very intersting bit of text on the screen in what I'm guessing a slide in a deck??? My favorites are the ones where the "product" is just photoshopped in with Escher level physics required to make it believable.

You can buy some self-adhesive light attenuating film. They sell it in pre-cut shapes, in black (several strengths), white and silver. The name brand that started it all was, "LightDims". I put them on... most things. Network gear LEDs. Power LEDs. All manner of things.

Are you really trying to sleep in a room with that type of LEDs, or do you just really hate all things LED?
These days I own a home with far more space. The things which have LEDs are not in my bedroom.

Blackout curtains are great for sleeping, but I have trouble waking up and getting out of bed when the room is still completely dark (when it’s light outside in the AM). Recently bought some Hue smart lights to simulate sunrise with blackout curtains which is helping. Next up, motorized blinds that open at a scheduled time. (#firstworldproblems)
