I've always called bullshit when people say you shouldn't have a computer, or tv in your room, and/or to avoid using electronic devices on your bed, as it could disrupt your sleeping patterns and cause your brain to associate your bed with wakeful activities.
I use all manner of electronic devices in my room, and often go to sleep with a Documentary or something playing in the background, and I have always found I sleep soundly.
Both my parents have sleep apnea and thought they were sleeping fine before they got some sleep testing done. My mom went into three straigh hours of REM sleep (normally about 15 mintes of a 90 minute cycle) when they hooked her onto a CPAP machine for the first time.
I'm not telling you how good or bad you sleep, or how accurate the article is, but self reporting sleep quality is pretty unreliable in a lot of situations.

Then again, perhaps I am just weird.

I don't think that it's impossible to sleep well with electronics in the bedroom. But if you don't sleep good maybe you should consider to move them.
