I am not afraid of dark familiar places but I when i sleep in a new bedroom. However I never put my light on otherwise I would not be able to sleep. I had a friend of mine who used to sleep with the lights on. However I never managed to sleep that way. © ronaldinu 2008

I sleep with the lights turned off. It doesn't mean that I am afraid of the dark. I just can't sleep immediately when the light is on. By putting the lights off when sleeping, we can reduce the electricity bill. Just imagine the electricity wasted for hours without anyone using it. Putting the lights off also reduces the heat when we are asleep.

I can sleep better with all the lights off. If the lights are on I would not be able to go into a deep sleep. I would wake up several times during the night and I would wake up feeling groggy and sleepy. However I am afraid of the dark if I am alone. So when I am alone I always switch on the lights. But my sleep is never fulfilled and I am always tired during the day. Now that I am married I don't have the problem anymore because my husband is with me when I go to sleep so I can always switch off the lights.

I have always liked it very dark when I go to sleep at night, too. I can't even sleep or nap during the day because I don't sleep well in light. So I make sure it is as dark as I can make it. It might have scared me when I was a young child, but I sure don't remember it, so if it did it was long ago.

Fortunately, I am one of those people who can sleep just about anywhere. I used to travel a lot in connection with my job so I learned to sleep on airports and terminals whenever I can. I am a very light sleeper by the way so I have no problem waking up when I have to. LOL

I can't sleep with the lights on. When I was young it was the opposit- have to sleep with some light on. Yeah I was afraid of darkness then. Just recently, I was to sleep in the same room with my small niece with the light on, had tough night trying to get some sleep.

I like to sleep with the lights closed too.If ever there'll be light,I want it to be a dim light because bright lights hurt my eyes.

Hello Vimaal, As for me, whether lights are on or off, I can sleep well. But when we (I and my sisters) were still young, we used to have the lights on at night. It has only change when a neighbor of us told my mother that it is best to turn off the lights at night so in case you are attack by robbers, they will be having difficulty on how to get in because it is dim. My mother was convince and from then on we slept with light turn off. Now that we have a small store, we have to turn off the lights in our sala to keep the rats away from entering the store, and I can still sleep well. You take care too and have a nce day! God Speed!

I do sleep without any lights. I can sleep if there is light open. I have hard time to sleep when they lights are open. When I first move to university hostel, I have difficult in sleeping, because my roommate can't sleep with light switch off. Now I have new roommate and she sleep with light off. Finally I can have a good sleep.

I am not scared from dark places that much but sometimes i have a weird feeling when i am somewhere out in a dark road or something but as far as lights at night is concerned i really hate anyone coming to my room while i am on bed and switch the lights on. Thats really very irratating because our eyes see so much during the whole day and at night they also need rest along with the rest of our mind.

Hi,vimaal,it's same as me,it's difficult to sleep in light.I think people like to sleep in the dark as a rule,but I disagree the reason is they afraid the dark.because in your unconsious,the dark is the time suit to sleep,if there are lights,your brain regard now as a daytime.

I sleep with complete dark. I can't sleep if there is a light on. I even sit in the dark in the morning drinking my coffee, before I go to work. I love sitting on the porch at night during a thunder and lightning storm. I sooth my nerve and relaxes me. So think I am crazy that I can sleep right through a storm but I can't sleep with a light on.. Oh well! That's just me

same here. I can't sleep when the lights are on. I am not afraid of dark and even more relaxing and not disturbing when the lights are off. I do turning off lights usually at 9pm when I'm about to take my sleep at night. thanks

Thats me too, I can't sleep when lights are on, it has to be completely dark before I can go to sleep. Even the alarm clock is too bright for me when we turn the lights out...ha.
