Is it right to assume that night owls are up in front of a screen?


No, especially considering screens have only been around for a very small fraction of a percentage of time that night owls have, to the point of being negligible to discussion on the topic of night owls.


It's possible that the prevalence of screens is driving a significant number of people into the same sleeping patterns as natural night owls.


N == 1, but IME, even before screens were a thing in my house, when I was around eight years old, I still had huge issues sleeping early. I'd regularly lie in bed until one, two AM not being able to fall asleep.
