Some people cannot sleep with light's off ... and some cannot sleep with light's on. Women exposed to light during the night have higher risk of cancer. Studies found out that light exposure may be caused by working the night shift, having insomnia, or being exposed to light in the bedroom during sleep. For women who cannot sleep without light, practice to take off the light during bed time. Good day.

is that true? if it is then all the more reason for us to turn the lights off, aside from wanting to save on electricity hehe. We have been sleeping with the lights on for almost a month now until i was finally able to buy ourselves a night light hehehe.

Well, read this information from Health and Home magazine. It was found out in a research. So then, it might be true.

I don't like to sleep with lights on. In my room all lights are turned off except for a very small little ionizer which helps in circulating the air in the room. It has a dim light in it so it serves as a night light.

Oh well, I can probably sleep soundly of that night light you said but with that real florescent light? it is very disturbing when it will be on while you sleep. As if there is somebody looking at you when you are sleeping when the light is on.

hahah!!! I know why it's like that. You care confident in your own house because you are sure that you are safe there but in your apartment, you are afraid somebody might get in... That's why you want the lights on.

I do too when my children are yet small, we sleep with lights on but now that they are already big? we sleep with lights off. It is also goo because of what I have learned about the effects of lights on while sleeping.

If this is really true then it is very scary. I have insomnia long before but i sleep at night with lights off. Recently, i just let the light on because there are few mosquitoes buzzing my ear when light is off but usually i sleep with light's off because it will really make me have a good sleep and that's the difference i have observed because when i sleep with the lights on, it gives me headache and i still have to put blanket on my eyes.

yes you are right!! most people cover their eyes or face with blanket or pillows so that they can sleep. They said that do not sleep right under the light bulb or florescent lamp. I mean you are facing the ceiling where the florescent or bulb and you are sleeping under it? that's what the danger is. Maybe because of the radiation?

I for one, can not sleep with lights on. I feel that somebody is looking at me while I am sleeping when the light is on. I can't sleep with lights on. I preferred my room to be dark when at night. I am comfortable to sleep when it is dark. Cheers!!

Well I was before; I can't sleep w/o some lights on but not now. Since college I've been trained to sleep w/o lights because I was in a boarding house and it's one of the house rules to turn off lights during night time or on sleeping.

Oh me too, I can't sleep with lights on but when my kids are little? I was forced to sleep with lights on because it will be easy for me to check them if the light is on.

You are actually scaring me. hhehe Anyway, I don't like sleeping with lights on. But living in a girls' dormitory before, I was forced to adjust because some of my roommates can't sleep when the lights are off. And up until now, I'm sleeping with lights on, but for a different reason now. I have my baby sleeping with me, so I need to see everything. But once my baby grows, I'll be back to sleeping without the lights. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know we have higher risk of cancer. I just hope my baby grows fast. Hehe..

Oh, yes there are many who responded here that they can't sleep with the lights on.. It is indeed disturbing. I've seen some of my friends they put towels or other things above their bed to cover their eyes from the light.

I don't like sleeping with the lights on at all. My fiance will have the TV on for a little while after I decide to go to sleep, and even that drives me nuts. I like it dark.

I do not like the lights or a light on when sleeping, it tends to wake me up. perhaps a night lite would be okay.

I cannot sleep with the lights on. I am very much sensitive to things when it comes to sleep. I like to sleep in the dark. I think I can relax better and my eyes would easily close when its dark.

I don;t like sleeping with the lights being switched on because it irritates me and the result, I can not sleep. I like it better if the lights were switched off because I can not be irritated and I can sleep even better.

Yes, there are a lot of people who are comfortable sleeping when the light is off. And according to research, it will save you from cancer risk. Cheers!!
