I profess to be a good sleeper. Often, I sleep the moment I lie in bed, lights on or off. However, if the lights are off and someone suddenly switch on the lights, I may wake up unless I am in deep sleep.

I personally prefer lights off, but I do like for the tv to be on. I don't mind the light from the tv and the noise helps me sleep. It is best if the tv has a sleep timer on it though.

Usually, I can sleep with the lights on or off, it usually doesn't bother me. Sometimes however, light just really annoys me, so I have to turn them off to sleep. Sometimes, I'd rather sleep with some sort of light. But if not, I like having a bit of light in case I wake up during the night and have to do some moving or something of the sort.

I'm strange. I sleep best with a very small light such as a night light but can't for the life of me sleep if it's totally dark or if it's too light.

Hi mycharm88! I do prefer having my lights turned off or if there are nights that I am scared because I just watched a horror movie, I will just turn on the night lamp for a very dim light. I really can't sleep with the lights on. Never had since I was a child and never will. Take care and have a nice day. :)

Lights off! I could tolerate a very dim light, or perhaps the TV (without volume), but I cannot sleep with bright lights. It's funny, when I was younger, I could sleep ANYWHERE (particularly in school). Nowadays, I can sleep only where its comfortable and appropriate! It's amazing how your bodies preferences can so quickly change!

I sleep with the lights off and the t.v. on. So it is dark but not complete darkness.

Basically, I am exhausted all of the time, working some days up to 16 hours, several days in a row. I can sleep with lights on, tv on, music on, people talking. I can sleep most anywhere under any conditions, as long as I am not too cold or too warm!

I'm such a sleepy head that I can sleep whether the lights are on or off. It doesn't really affect me. The only time I find it hard to sleep is when it's hot and I'm sweating all over.

I like the room to be totally dark and very quiet. i never gave my babies a night light either and none of them are scared of the dark.

I sometimes keep a very dim night lamp when I am alone at home but other than that light would disturb my sleep.

If I'm not very tired, I need it to be dark. The few times I've been up until dawn I have been able to get asleep anyway, but it takes much longer time. When I'm exhausted I can sleep no matter the light conditions.

Hello Mycharm! I can't sleep with the light on, and the darker the better! However, light doesn't bother me if i have a daytime nap, too tired i guess! Take care.

I prefer to sleep with lights off also, I just light a little lamp so it won't be pitch dark as I also cannot sleep if it's too dark. I guess most people prefer lights off when sleeping because it gives a calm and peaceful feeling.

When I sleep I like for it to be dark and very quiet. Accept for the soft soothing music that I am playing to help me to relax. When I was younger, I was afraid of the dark. Now, it does not bother me. Unless I watch a horror picture. At which point I am spooked for the rest of the night.

I can sleep when lights are on, but I'd prefer that lights are shut off. It just makes me easily doze off, or maybe, the dark makes a good sedative for me? And I shall continue to wonder.
