There are people who prefer or more comfortable to sleep when the light is out, while some don't. What could be the reason why people sleep without lights and vice versa? Do you prefer it without lights or with lights during your sleep?

I prefer lights out. When I was younger I used to sleep with a night light. but as I grew older i realised that I didn't need one anymore. especially after I became a christian, I realised there's nothing to fear. I know that I can call upon God everytime I feel afraid, and the fear just goes away! I think young children need to sleep with lights just so that when they open their eyes, the room looks the same as when they remembered it and they can recall where they are.

Yes if we believe in God and pray to him, he will guide us and protect us from harm and we will have nothing to fear. Yes I think that could be one of the case for the childrens.

Well I think it's okey if you switch off the lights and see no problem with that. But, I believe your parents do not agree with the way that you got irritated when the lights is off and not the with lights exactly being off :)

I prefer lights out while sleeping, but when my child was a baby I had to keep on the lights, and at that time I got used to sleeping with the lights on. Nowadays even a small light coming from outside disturbs me.

Seeing your situation, I think it is a matter of practice to be able to sleep with lights on or off, the only thing that we can get used to the situation is to be on that situation many times :)

Personally, I like to sleep with the lights off! Any light that is on will only serve to distract me. It is not that I am a light sleeper. I am a heavy sleeper as in nothing can wake me up once I doze off...but before I sleep,if there is any light source anywhere nearby, it will prevent me from getting to lala land and I will be tossing and turnin.
