do you sleep with the lights on or with the lights out?
some people prefer to sleep with the lights on. some people prefer to sleep with the lights out.
I can sleep with the lights on or with the lights out. but here in the accomodations provided by my work, I sleep with the lights on because of fear of the unknown. of course the fear of the unknown is the very reason that people are afraid of.
so how was your sleep last night? did you sleep with the lights on or with the lights out?

I prefer to sleep with lights out/off, even when I'm at my room I prefer to have dim lights when I'm not doing anything. I only turn it off when I want to read.
I'm not into much of those unknown, because I prefer to fear those who are alive!;) Last night is still the usual, sleeping and waking up without worrying of the drool!;)LoL

I sleep with the light out! Sometimes when I'm very tired and lie on bed to have a rest, I may go to sleep with light on.
In my opinion, it's good for my body to sleep with light out.
Hope you have wonderful dream every night!

Hello there. I absolutely cannot sleep with the lights on. I am very sensitive to light and noise when I sleep. Even a ray of light can disturb my sleep. I always (100% of time) sleep with the lights off. Anyway, I think it is energy-saving to sleep with lights off.
I did not really have a good sleep last night. It is not because I sleep with the lights on. It is because I was thinking through many issues and that disturb my sleep.
I hope I can have a better sleep tonight.
I hope you can have a good sleep too. =D

When I was single, I used to leave my lights on when I am sleeping. I got scared and I can't sleep well when my lights are off. But when I got married,it changes. My husband can't sleep with lights on. Since I don't have any reason to be afraid anymore because I already have a company, right now I am ammenable to turning off the light when we are sleeping. At first, I find it difficult but right now it's not a problem anymore.

When I was a high school student,I usually slept with the light on because I used to reading books abed and flaked out without turning off the light.But now,living with my roommates,I sleep with the light off and I think it helps me have a better sleep.

I sleep with the lights on. Its something I've always done.
I dislike sleeping with them off for the simple reason I have a fear of the dark and like yourself, I have I fear of the unknown. My sleep last night was average I suppose, I woke up tired and with back pains because of my sleeping position and such but thats pretty normal for me, as always I slept with the light on.
Slightly off topic.
I tried sit in the dark about a week ago, just to see how long I could last, To be honest, I lasted at most five minutes, It was quite a distressing experience for me. So yeah, I prefer the light.

i can sleep either with the lights on or off. it doesn't bother me unless the light is directly above me or shining in my eyes. i do prefer mostly or complete darkness though. it's just easier. although my boyfriend and i have red christmas/decorative lights strung around our bed frame and plug them in everynight. it looks really nice, lights up the room just enough and yeahh. haha.

My light are off when I sleep. I have small LED lights in my outlet, but not in my bedroom. It help me to see if I have to walk at night.

I usually sleep with lights off. I am so used to it since I was young. But i need to adjust lately because my kids could not sleep without lights. And I can't do nothing about it.

well Frankly speaking i can never sleep with lights on.the lights should be off when i am sleeping.I am so very conscious about light that even if i am sleeping and somebody puts on the light for some or the other rerason,then I can get up.its veery tough for me to sleep with lights on.even if i am very tired and feel vey much sleepy but i need to switch off the lights for a proper sleep.

i have adapted to the vampire-ish lifestyle... that is work at night, sleep during the day. so that makes me sort of unfit to comment on this discussion, hihi. but i just want to see if people agree if i say sleeping with the lights on just makes sleeping impossible sometimes. ok, ok, most of the time! i need the darkness of night when i sleep, please! (how daring of me to ask, lol)
so to vote, i go with LIGHTS OFF!!
