hi there, when i was younger and i was all alone in my room i would prefer to have the lights on but as i grow older i had it turn off when i go to sleep i don't have dark draperies on my room so the light from the post illuminates inside my room. :) i also put glow on the dark on my walls and i love looking at it as i turn off the lights. LOL. just the child in me... nice topic!!!

I sleep in the dark, but because I live in the city, the lights are never really off.

There are a few buildings that the light illuminate from, but it is mostly the street lights that shine a lot outside of my house.

I like to sleep ligts off. But for 10 months I have to sleep lights on because our baby is sleeping with us ;-). We cannot sleep in dark with a small baby.

Lights off please. I can't sleep with the lights on unless I'm really really sleepy and tired. Lampshade is okay but lights off is the way to go!

I prefer to sleep with the lights off, as it is more comfortable and easy to sleep in the dark rather than in lights. I always sleep in the dark, even if it is day, I make the room dark and sleep.
However, my brother likes to sleep with the lights on. I don't know how he is able to sleep in the light as I find it very hard and uncomfortable. Turning off the lights automatically drives the eyes to sleep, while you have to cover your eyes to sleep in light.

Actually just like you, it depends. I mean, i think I have sleeping modes too. I have nights when I feel to scared thus I have to turn it on so that all of those "thoughts" scaring me would just leave me. There are also nights when I feel like I am being engulfed by darkness that would lead me to a deep sleep. So it really depends.

I can sleep with the lights on and I can sleep with the lights off if I am really tired,but usually I like to have a little light,and that is why me and my fiance have a boot light in our room that stays on all the time,so that way we have a little light to see what we are doing if we need to get out of bed in the dark,and I can not sleep when it is completely quiet either,and the fan me and my fiance have helps make a little bit of noise.

well yeah maybe all of us can sleep with or without the lights on if we are so tired. im a fan of a little light in the room when i sleep too, i sometimes even leave the television on and put it on a cartoon channel and put it in a low volume just so there is a little noise :)

For me it keeps changing. I used to have to sleep with a small light on. Then it had to be complete darkness, then i got in the habit of sleeping with the tv on, and now i am back to complete darkness.

Dark but not pitch black. I want the city lights or the village lights somehow reflects my window. It kinda soothes me an d calms me more. These lights are like lampshades but with a theme. Kinda like landscapes, its artform is inecplicable.

Hi there punkix!
I often sleep with my lights off. I can't sleep in a very bright room especially at night. However, there are times when I am really very exhausted that once I hit my bed, I sleep until the morning. It is when I wake up that I realize that I slept with my lights on. Or, there are times when I go to the toilet in the wee hours of the morning and see that I slept with my lights on. Well, I turn it off then go back to bed.
