Do you have to sleep with the lights on ?

I have night lights throughout the basement. Without them literally you cannot see your hand in front of your face at night. When i get up to go potty at night or whatever i dont wanna stub my pinky toe. I used to be afrid at night as a child. When im not living underground i dont use night lights. Except in bathroom.

No dear I can never sleep with the lights on.even if I am very tired,it may happen that I may doze off,but the lights will definitely hurt my sleep and I'll wake up after sometime.WHen I am sleeping i need a calm and quiet environment and no lights please.

i hate having the lights on when i am trying to sleep. my bedroom is fairly light just because there is a street light outside of the window and i actually sleep with a pillow over my eyes because of it.

If i fall a sleep an leave the light on, then i will wake up in the night.But i like to sleep with the light off,then i will get a better sleep. where i live in the Caribbean, the weather is hot so when you sleep with the light,the place is hot. So i rather sleep with the light off, but some people can sleep with light.I can't sleep with loghts on.

i need to sleep with the light on when i'm sleeping alone. i just get really freaked out because i watch lots of scary films and stuff because i love them but then i get really creeped out afterwards and because you can't see what's what without the light on at night i get really scared because i don't know what's out there. i hate it when the light gets in your eyes though.

Yes I knew people who doesnt sleep when the lights are off. I'm not sure if they are scared of the dark but its one of the habit they do in order to sleep. Some habit also includes putting slightly rough-silky clothing under their feet to rub, sleeping without pillow, hugging extra pillow and etc. I can sleep with or without lights on.

I like it dark but not completely black. i fall asleep watching my t.v. The lights are off but the t.v. is on. It gives off a lovely blue light. so it isn't completely dark but there isn't a bright light either.so I am right in between.

Unless I am unusually tired, I do not sleep with lights on. However, if I am outside in a strange place, I would sleep with some lights on. Perhaps I feel more secured with lights on.

no. i can't fall asleep if the light is on. with lights off, i can fall asleep quickly and sleep tight. but when i am alone in the house, at night i have to have the lights on while sleeping, coz i'm afraid of the darkness and ghosts or sth like that. i don't dare to turn off the light well, if there's someone accompany, with light off, i can definitely sleep better.

no I dont need the lights on we do leave the bathroom light on to see to get to the bathroom but i do need my tv on hard to sleep without it on

I had to break my husband out of the habit of sleeping in the light. In my discussion with him I discovered that he was brought up to sleep with the lights on. For me it was the opposite so he has accepted sleeping without light. Sometimes I tolerate him with it. When I sleep with the lights on I feel like I am sleep deprived.

hi there ronny.. yeah!im one of those people who cant sleep with out lights on!...heheheh! only if i sleep alone... my hubby hates lights!cause he cant sleep well...and very distracting to his eyes.. well..i can sleep with out lights if his there beside me.. but when he will go to work like 4;30 am.. i would definitely put on the lights! its scares me..putting the lights on aware other people that someone is inside the house.. its just me and my hubby who leaves in the house.. we must learn safety methods too you know.. crime is increasing ..i just want to be safe.. i dont want to die early..heheheh!putting the lights on can avoid bad people.. from entering to our own houses.. thanks! happy mylotting! good day!

I know some kids who afraid of dark like sleeping with the lights on.I guess the shadows make them feel there is something terrible when the light is off.But when they fall sleep you turn off the light, it is ok. I don't mind the light is on or off,usually i turn off the light before sleep, but sometimes, i fall asleep when i watching tv on bed, maybe i'm too tired...:)

As for me i cant sllep with the lights on. It will keep me up all night. I can fall asleep with the lights on too, but i prefer them off. When i'm not even sleep i cant sleep with them off though, but if they are on and im sleepy im out like a light.

I don't know anyone who sleeps with the lights on, but I did have a boyfriend who didn't want to watch a movie or television with the lights off. I am not sure why, something with his eyes. Actually I never found out if it was something medical, if it caused him pain or if he just disliked it. He did sleep with the lights off.

Hi ronnyb, I know different people having different habit when sleeping. Some like sleep with light on, some could fall asleep only in the dark whereas some feel comfortable to sleep with the fain bed lamp on. Though I can sleep with light on I still enjoy to have a proper rest without any light on I have read articles saying that it's more suitable for us to sleep in the dark, for there is totally no disturbance of light. We would feel more peaceful to have a proper rest in such comfortable environment. Yeah, after having a real proper sleep we then will be refreshed and energetic again the next morning Happy posting and take care.

I have NEVER really been able to sleep with the lights totally off. I have to at LEAST have my television and computer screens glowing. I really think it is a phobia carried over from my childhood. I've always been SUPER scared of the dark. I can sleep with the lights off if there is someone else with me, but if there isn't, pish, I ain't sleeping alone in the dark. Lol.

hi..this is really good discussion.i under light off situations can't go to sleep now.but few years ago i didn't sleep light on.now is changed. also i not easy to sleep under light on when i am so tired ....maybe everybody's habits not same...nice day...

Ohh yes, I used to be bit uncomfortable but I get used to it very quickly. I go sleep in if the lights are on.

i had problems with lights in my childhood. i had lights off in my room but i had lights on in the hall. but now i prefer sleeping with lights off. it was easier for me to start sleeping with lights of when i started to listen music when i went to sleep but now its easy
