Reading is better than the flashing lights of a TV which are better than doing physical activity for most people. Reading is still mentally stimulating, and can keep someone’s mind going when they are trying to relax. For neurotypical people, nothing is better than any of those things, which is the audience for those websites.
For neurodivergent people those activities have very different impacts on our ability to be able to sleep, and nothing often opens the floodgates of random thoughts. For me, a movie I have seen a lot of times before is the best way to fall asleep because it doesn’t keep me paying a lot of attention and keeps my mind from wandering to other things. That’s why I have shows like Futurama to wind down with.
Wait, don’t read? I thought I had always heard that reading is a really good choice before bed.

I’ve accidentally read until like 3am before, so I imagine the content/interestingness is important.
