Which do you prefer? Sleeping with the lights on of off? As for me, I find it hard to sleep with the lights on. If ever I dose off with the lights on, I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling tired. So I would hit the switch to turn it off. How about you?

I prefer the lights to be turned off. I have a hard time staying asleep if the lights are on. The weird thing is that I fall asleep faster if the TV is on. I'm not sure why that is especially because the TV not only has lights, but it has sound. I feel like it's the sound that helps me sleep. I'd wake up at 6 in the morning or when it's already bright outside and turn the TV off. I don't understand it, but it works for me.

Yeah, I do sleep without or with lights on. But I would prefer to turn it off, it gives calming atmosphere, you sees nothing so none will hit your mind. But when I'm definitely knock down I don't care anymore if its on or off. I just drift fast to sleep until morning I woke up without noticing that my lights were still on. lol!

i sleep with the lights on because i am scared of darkness so i dont want to make room in darkness but when i am so tired i wont look to the darkness just off it and sleeps but it would cost more if u keep on and sleep your monthly expense will increase and even u wont have anything to spare and i wanted to tell u take care of your money because now u striving hard fr money through jobs and internet so i think rather collect it rather spending it wasteless

I sleep with my eyes closed. If I am tired and feel like sleeping, I just close my eyes and go to sleep, even if the lights are 'on' or somebody is watching Tv (of course at low volume). I do not sleep rather cannot slip in standing or a sitting position, I sleep in a reclines position.

Hi there aprilten
I hate to sleep with the light on but at the moment I have to leave the light on, on my landing because if I turn it off my 3 year old will get up around 5am so I leave the light on but shut my door as the light comes straight into my room if I don't. I thought last night I would try and turn the light off for once, the first time in 2 weeks or so but nope he woke up!

I prefer to sleep with lights on it's hard for me to sleep without light because I can't breath well. I feel suffocate and it is the cause of my heart to palpitate fast. And if the lights on when I sleep it makes me feel complete and i feel the deep sleep ever. Unlike to close the light so really hard.

I sleep with the lights off, but can fall asleep with the tv on. Ever since I have lived on my own, I have not had a tv in my bedroom, so I am used to sleeping with the lights and tv off. But if I was somewhere else and there was a tv on and I was trying to sleep, that would not bother me as long as the volume was not too high.

I remember one time when I slept over at a friend's house. The lights were off but she was watching this concert on TV. The volume of the TV was not that loud but the singer was shouting and it was very irritating and I had a hard time sleeping. It's really hard to sleep when it's noisy. Thanks for sharing!

for me, I'd prefer sleeping with the lights off so I wouldn't have anything to 'see' when I sleep. I just slept with my lights on last night =.= and it made me really tired...When I went to bed last night, I forgot to turn the lights off, and by the time I remembered it, I was really lazy and decided not to climb out of bed, walk to the switch, and turn the lights off. Took me a great deal of effort to fall asleep!!
