lights- ON or OFF?

I sleep with the light off, but with a night light. If you have the room light on you're just going to keep waking up. That's torture, but if there's no light you're going to end up hurting yourself when you wake up confused in the middle of the night, and you have to pee really bad. You're going to be stumbling around in the dark, going crazy. So you need a little light to be able to find the door, and see where you are going.

Although I have mostley slept with the light off, I think I have got to sleep with the bedroom light on a couple of times. Sometimes it gets bright early in the morning as the sun shines through the window like in the Summer but I have bee able to sleep still, though I do have a curtain up partly as well.

hi tolted, I sleep more when the light is off, however there are times I can sleep with lights on. Well, that is case to case basis. For example, I am reading a book in the night and I feel sleepy, that will makes me sleep in an instant without bothering myself if light is on or off. I just notice that whenever I sleep with lights turn on, I cannot sleep longer because somehow, the light is distracting me. That is why I prefer to sleep with lights off. I can sleep soundly without lights. Beside, I am used to that because we were practicing a frugal living. It will increase our electricity bill if I allow lights to be on for the whole night. So, I think it is a matter of practicality also.

Hello tolted, I usually sleep with a dim light not too dark and not with sharp light.I cannot sleep with lights on and off.SO, I prefer a dim light. Happy myLotting!

In my case, I sleep with the dim lights on. I usually have a book near my bed. So if I don't get sleep, I just read the book till I doze off. Even if I am not in the mood to read, I still have the lights on. I dunno what the reason is, but i am more comfortable that way.

if its earlier i would have my light on but if its later then it would be off. ...

Deep sleep or slumber necessarily must have pitch darkness...otherwise the sleeping pattern is disturbed and hinder sound rest.

Hi tolted! I don't like to have the lights on when I sleep. I can't sleep even with a small dim light on. I don't know, maybe because I am used to sleep the lights off since I was a child. And even if I was scared of the dark, I still slept with the lights off. My daughter needs to have a light on when she sleep. Even if I trained her to sleep the lights off. She can sleep without the lights but only when I am beside her. But while I am busy and she has to sleep early. She keeps the lights on. I think it's different for everyone and there is so many different reasons too for it. (^^,)

whenever i sleep at the night time, usually the lights were kept off; and daytimes we never keep light on .. as the day lights are there ... and if sleep that time no one bothers about light,.. you may try to sleep with keep the light on also, depends upon the enviornments .... and capacity to pay the electric bills

I always turn the lights off because I can't sleep when it's too bright. I'm not claustrophobic, thank God so darkness (as long as not total pitch balck) doesn't really scare me.

Hi tolted: When I was a kid and I was afraid, I sleep with the lights on, but that has passed away. Now I can say that for me, my sleeping time it's a whole pleasure and I have no worries. When I go to bed I just think in those things that make me smile or love and I also make plans so I have no need of turning on the light. On the opposite it's uncomfortable to me to sleep with the lights on. Thanks for the question. Alvaro.

i sleep with the lights turned off! since i was little we have been taught by our parents to turn off things that are not needed,specially when in terms of sleep. i don't like sleeping with the lights on cause i can't get to sleep at all.

Hi,tolted. When i was before 15,i could not get into sleep unless the light was on.At that time,i had some difficulty getting into sleep,and with a light on,i just felt easier to fall asleep.But now,i never need a light on when sleep.It seems that my sleep problem has solved.And i now can easily fall asleep no matter the light is on or off. Your problem maybe some psychological thing,i think you can get over it by changing your lifestyle,for many psychological things result from lifestyle.

i prefer dimmed light too. but since my rent house has no such thing so i choose lights off. but in any way, it is just a matter of choosing to turn it on or off, because when i set my mind to sleep, i will sleep in what ever condition it may be. :)

Hi, I prefer sleeping with the lights off. Though it is not that totally dark since the light from the outside illuminates through my window and after several seconds it gives a good lighting inside my room. I am not that comfy with total darkness that i can't see a thing. the reflection from the outside just gives a cozy feeling that makes me sleep really well and not to sharp for my eyes.

I sleep with lights off.I don't want the brightness shining on my face.it could easily distract me and wake me up.I value my sleep very much.I don't like having anything bright shining thru my face while I am asleep.

oh, I can go to sleep whatever it is . I am easy to go to sleep. but many people can go to sleep when the lights is off. because it is easier for them to close their eyes in the dark and sleep off. one of my roommates can not sleep when it is on . so she can wakes up when it is dawn.

I prefer a very dim speck of light. Just incase if I need to get up I can always see my way around my room. My room isn't very big but it still isn't nice if you crash into your drawer or something else that'll hurt. I don't mind having lights -OFF- because sometimes you just really don't want to see light :P

I prefer lights off, it's easier for me to sleep. It isn't here pitch dark because my home is very close to the boulevard and it's pretty light around. But when I'm tired I could sleep with lights on and while watching a TV show for example.

I like it very dark, no lights, we have great curtains that blockout a lot of light. I am able to sleep with a little light, I just prefer not to. I sleep so much better in a cool dark room, sometimes I wake up with migraines so it's better to have a pitch black room.
