I usually sleep with lights off. But when I get to see a horror film, I just leave them on for a few nights.

Lights off for me. I just can't sleep under bright light. The light would seem to pierce through my eyes even though they are closed. But I can do with a little night lamp though. In some way I helped save some energy so it's quite good. Talking about monsters in movies, I just try not to think about them. I usually divert my attention to some other things when the thought of them cross my mind and it helps.

what things do you usually think about when you want to divert some bad things on your mind?

I can't sleep with the lights on - not at all. It really stops me from sleeping. Horror films never do though. The only one that did disturb my sleep (and this was a VERY long time ago) was the film Alien. Those monsters really gave me the creeps!

I cannot sleep with lights on , it has to be complete dark for me to sleep, even a little light disturbs my sleep.

I sleep in total darkness, except for the light that comes from my clock radio. It's nice to be able to see what time it is (and know where the radio is, in the middle of the night). Aside from that, I don't like having any other lights on in the house when I'm trying to sleep.

I'm used to sleeping without lights. I find it more relaxing and it gives me a good sleep. But when I gave birth to my kids, we sleep with the lights on. I find it hard to sleep at first, but then I get used to it. We waited until they reach at leaast 9 months before we could turn off the light. Now, my youngest is already 1 year old. We sleep now with just a dim light on the room. It's actually much better having a dim light.

I normally sleep with the lights on but due to the rising cost of electricity, I am left with no other option but to turn all the lights off.

it doesn't really matter to me. If I am sleepy I can sleep next to roaring jet engine also as luckily I have a very sound sleep.... :-))

yup yup, I do the same as you do...it doesn't matter to me if the light is on or off, when sleepy reaction attack than I could get to sleep instantly. Actually I work at some noise environment of power plant, so who cares with the sound, sleep would feel better...

i usually sleep with the lights off. i cannot sleep if they're still on because they keep me awake. however, if i see a horror film i keep my door open and leave the light in the hallway on to let some light in... i love but hate horror films at the same time because its fun to watch but i dont like it wen i keep thinking about it n i get scared ! =P
