Do you sleep with the lights on or off? I'm trying to get myself used to sleeping with the lights off now... It's getting hard for me now to sleep with the lights on because i find it too bright!

I am very sensitive, so i prefer to sleep in complete darkness and silence.I react to all lights and noises- even the lighest ones.

I too had a posting like this a couple of days ago. I don't like to sleep with a light on but when I am alone in the house I find myself doing it just so that I can sleep.

I have sometimes fallen asleep with the lights on. I am a terrible sleeper and wake up several times during the night. So to be able to fall back to sleep I have to read so I turn on the bedside lamp. If I take the trouble of turning it off I am all of a sudden wide awake again, at times, so I leave it back on and let myself fall asleep. The lamp doesn't bother me because it is not all that bright with the shade on it.

of course, I sleep with the light off. I also may sleep with light on, when I feel tired. If you didn't like to sleep with light off, you can let the light on. If you didn't like to sleep with bright light, you can let the light be caliginous.

Most of the time I sleep with the light off even though there are times when I have the light on but im just so tired that I just leave it on. I also sleep with the tv on cant help it I need the tv because it comforts me and it soothes my mind and dosnt make me think of a lot of stuff. But I have to watch something Ive seen before and usally its a comedy I watch like seinfeld.

I like to sleep with some lights on, it gives me a sence of secutity. I let my lava lamp be on during night, since it gives enought light to be comforting, yet not so much that it dispruts my sleep.

im usually a night owl. i spend most of my time sleeping in the morning and stay awake most of the afternoon till dawn. my sleeping habits are really messed up since my 3rd to last year in highschool. lol. but whenever i do get the chance to sleep early in the night i prefer to sleep with the lights on. i used to sleep with the lights off when i was younger but obviously something changed. and i guess i hate being in the dark. and i just dont sleep with the lights on, i also cant sleep without some noise in the room. since i dont have a radio in my room i usually turn the tv on in sleep mode for about 10-20 mins until i can fall asleep.

definitely, lights-off. can't sleep with the lights-on-- it's very distracting.

Hello dear glitzypurple. I always sleep with the lights off because I find it hard to fall asleep if the lights are on. And even if I have fallen asleep, I would still be awake from the lights shining on the eyes and then my sleep is interrupted. I can only sleep well and soundly with the lights off. So I have to say that you are not alone there, dear friend.

I sleep with the light off. I have fallen asleep with the light on a few times, and I wake up with a headache. I do have a night light in my room for my daughter though. It is not too bright.

I used to sleeping with lights on. Because if the lights on when you sleeping the light will hurt you eye. Why did you will suffer this? You should change another room to sleeping!! Good luck for you!
