because i dont, even though my eyes are closed, i still feel that the light is passing through my closed retina, so i wasnt able to sleep at all. some people cant sleep in the dark, but as for me i would have a good sleep in a dark room. are you guys like me? or u are also afraid in the dark like some people. happy day every one!

Although I would rather not, I can sleep with the lights on. I worked graveyard shift for many years and slept in the daytime. Not much difference between sleeping with the lights on or with the sunshine filling the room with light

If I'm tired, i can sleep even if the lights are on. But if I'm not that tired and trying to force myself to sleep, i will get mad at those who on the light (usually my sister). But i agree that we can have a better sleep when the room is dark when we sleep. I read from a book that says when light are on when we sleep, our brain is not at the resting stage, it's in a stat which is half conscious, and i would make you tired when you wake up.

when I was younger, I always sleep lights on, but after few years I sleep with lights off, don't know the reason behind it, I can't sleep well even if there's just a small light.

HI rikkabren, I would sleep fine with a night light on but not too bright. Just dimmed enough. I can't sleep when there is no light at all during at night. Because I would not be able to sleep and will feel as if I am suffocating. But if sleeping during day then I may be too tired to care about the bright room, of course curtains are closed.
