Do you sleep with the lights on or off?

I sleep with the lights off but I put the television set on sleep so that when I sleep there is still light from the television. I put it on sleep so that when I doze off it will turn off by itself in a few minutes. I can't sleep with the lights off because ot gets too dark and creepy things get in my head. I guess I am afraid of the dark! LOL! How about you?

I know the feeling..it's very sad that at my age I still feel that way. but hey, can't change it unless I have to be hypnotized so that I can sleep in the dark LOL!

The dark doesn't bother me, but I do like falling asleep to the TV's light. There's something comforting somehow about its blueish light... ButI always wake up in the middle of the night to turn it off, so maybe it ends up disturbing my sleep to fall asleep with it on.

I sleep with lights off but we have a little lit which is not bright just to make the room not too dark because if an emergency arises, it's very difficult to be groping in the dark. Lampshade is okay.

I love to sleep when it is all dark. It helps me to feel very relax and just on the mood to sleep. If there is light, It is hard for me to sleep.

Well, I prefer dark when I sleep, but in my room I have an electric watch with green numbers and it's not dark; also the mouse button it's lighting blue...

I was afraid of the dark, and my mother didn't allow nightlights. I have slept with the lights on since I left her home. Drives my husband crazy!
