I can't sleep with the lights on. Why would someone even leave the lights on ?

maybe they are afraid of the dark?

That is a good point, there are a lot of people that are afraid of the dark. But if they are asleep, how do they know if the lights are on or off

off. unless i'm really tired, and pass out while i'm working. There is no way I would leave the lights on ...on purpose. I'm not into self torture.

lights come on you wake up. if you go to sleep with the lights on, then you'll never really get a good sleep. the light will keep hitting your eyes, and waking you up, but because you have fallen asleep with the light on, you will be adjusted to it just enough to not fully wake up. So if you sleep for 8 hours, it will feel like you got about 3 hours of sleep.

I used to sleep with the lights on when I was living in my parents house. When I became independent when I was 20, I started to sleep with the lights on. I think I like it with the lights on as I can sleep more better with that. Sleeping with the lights on makes me wake up at night and I have a hard time sleeping with the lights on these days.

Most definitely off and the darker the better! Having the light on when trying to sleep is way too distracting and I can't relax easily at all if there's light beaming down on me. I have enough trouble sleeping as it is!

i know what you mean my friend. the light might get you so distracted when we sleep so if we cannot really sleep too dark it better to have some small tint of light. not directly to our eyes, right? thansk so much my friend James. jhelai

I prefer off, but when I was too exhausted, the light will be on. And if I want to force myself to sleep, then I off the light and closed my eyes tightly. happy Mylotting

I noticed this before but when ever i lay on my bed, i ended up sleeping with out turning off the lights. then waking up after an hour or two just to turn it off. but little today woke and simply got banged up because of my ear irritation. then sleep again.

Hi jhe, I prefer to sleep with the light off. I dislike having the light on as it’s too glaring. I would feel uncomfortable and couldn’t get into sleep if the light is right on the top of the bed. I may be fall asleep only if I'm really too exhausted or drunk I could fall asleep soundly easily if the bedroom is in completely dark. It is best that if there is soft and sentimental music as background. Happy posting

I can easily go to sleep if the lights are off. I don't like with lights that are turned on because I will be waking up throughout the night. Even scientists advice to sleep with lights off so that we can sleep well and our body clock will work. Its more relaxing to sleep if the lights are off.

I can not sleep with the light on, and radio on, I need completely dark and silent. this is my habits for sleeping. If someone turn the light on or make noise, it also wake me up at the same time.

I sleep with lights off though i can pretty much sleep with lights on. I just want everything to be serene especially when i sleep. Turned on lights might give me glares even if my eyes are closed so i guess that would really be uncomfortable. Sometimes when i'm too tired, i can instantly sleep well when even when they're on. I guess it doesn't matter to me because i eventually sleep after lying down in bed for quite some time.

Well usually i'll sleep with the light off, when i really am tired and i need sleep immediately, switching off the lights helps alot. I'll turn on the lights and sleep only when i'm reading novels...haha, well you need the lights to read right? And when i get sleepy reading books, i just don't want to spoil that sleepy mood i will be having at that moment to get up and turn off the lights...Because i have insomnia so i'm trying different types of methods to help me sleep and this is my way of getting me to sleep..hee hee...=] tc.

I'd rather sleep with the light off, though I can aslo get to sleep when the light is on, but why do I waste the electricity? It is really not wise to do so for me. But I know some people always keep the light on while sleeping, because they are afraid, afriad what, they can't tell, maybe the ghosts. lol

I will turn it off when I am sleeping. It is no need to keep it on when I am sleeping. First, it is not good for the health. Second, it wastes the electricity and this is not my style. I am not afraid of the darkness. I love China

I turn off the lights when sleeping. Although I can sleep even if the light is on but it's hard to catch sleep when the ray of light hits your eyelid.

I always turn my lights off when I go to sleep. I don't think I could sleep with them on. One reason is because I would hate to waste the energy/electricity.

I cannot sleep with lights on, so I always turns it off every time I am going to sleep, besides it is one way of conserving energy. I just can't understand why other people left it turn on where they are sleeping when in fact nobody is using it anymore.

I sleep with the lights off just because it is easier for me to sleep but I don't have to be off for me to fall asleep. There are times on the weekend when I will fall asleep with the television on. I can sleep with both the lights on or off...when I am tired I am tired and can sleep any where light or dark.
