When you go into a dark room, do you immediately turn on a light?  email this discussion to a friend?

When you walk into a dark room, do you
immediately reach for the light
switch or do you try to walk through
the dark room with no light?

For me, I reach for the light switch.
It's more of a habit than anything.

Also, if I'm walking into the kitchen,
I want to turn on the lights to see if there
is water in the floor.

Our refrigerator keeps defrosting onto
the floor and things can get slippery.

You have to watch your step.

So what do you do when you first enter
a dark room?

I don't always go to turn on the light. It just depends on the situation. If I am going into the living room or kitchen I do but if my boyfriend is sleeping and I go into the room I won't turn on the light. Or if I go to the restroom I close to the door first so the light doesn't wake him up. But I always, always have to turn the light on when I am in the bathroom. I cannot use the bathroom in the dark it's a weird fear I have developed since one of my friends got bite by a poisionous spider while sitting on the toliet!! lol

If I can I turn on the light. But many of our rooms have the light switch on only one side of the room so I can't always do that.
But I will cross the room and turn the light on.
Except for the bathroom. We have a night light so I don't always need the big light on in there.

That night light will save
you a lot of stubbed toes.

I've heard that broken toes
is the biggest injury people
get from walking around in the dark
at night.

I wonder if they are counting all
the toys people step on?

Not me. Turning on the light is actually the last thing I do, and only if I need to. I am legally blind, and though I can see pretty well in lighted areas, vision is not my primary sense. I can move around dark rooms just fine, even my cluttered apartment where most people would break their necks tripping on something. LOL I get around just fine.

Yeah most of the time I turn on a light as soon as I enter a room espically if it is it nighttime. Or if it is late at night. I turn on a light to see where I am going.

Our house is never dark, so we don't have to worry about walking in the dark. We have nightlights on in the house at night or when we are gone... or we keep one small light on in the kitchen/dining area so we can see when we enter the house. We don't enter through the kitchen, but from the den that opens into the kitchen.


myLot reputation of 92/100. beautyqueen26 (34377)   ranked 774 out of 32,962 in life  4 years ago

Ours is the same layout.
Our den/livingroom breaks off into the kitchen
so it's very open.

But you can come around the corner from
the hall into the living room and then
round the corner into the kitchen.

It's a 1950's/1960's style house.

it depends on the room. Most of the time I do turn on a light because my vision is not that good in the dark. If it is a room I am completely comfortable in the dark, like the bathroom, I may not turn on the light as I know where everything is happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. beautyqueen26 (34377)   ranked 774 out of 32,962 in life  4 years ago

At night, I hate turning on the bathroom light.

I can see the hall light
all the way to the bathroom door.

Usally I do turn on the light when ever I walk into a dark room. I just dont like walking into dark rooms since you never know what can be on the floor especially my room god knows how many times ive tripped because I left a pair of sneakers on my floor and forgetting about it lol.

I do turn the light as sson as I can reach the switch when I go into a dark room. Why not. Why let yourself suffer in the dark when you can have the lights right?

If i go into a room looking for something i turn on the light but if i'm just passing through i tend to leave them off. I also dont turn the lights on when i get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. This is because even if the light is on if i havent found my glasses and put them on theres no point having a light on because i cant see anythign anyways.
