Do you prefer a dim light or a bright light in your bedroom?Why?

I like to have just our side lamp on at night because I feel the light on our ceiling fan is too bright, and it also makes the room hotter. There are times I get in the mood for just candles, as it is relaxing, but we don't do that at night very often because we don't want to get sleepy with no lights on as my husband works third shift so on his days off he needs to be awake during the night. In any case, the light by our bed gives off enough light for our room so it's comfortable enough.

I like a bright light mainly because I like to read in bed and I need to see my book properly without having to squint at the words.

I prefer dim light. However I do not have one. I only have a single light. And it's really bright. Plus the light outside goes into my room - that makes the dim light for my room. I do however like a dark room. With no lights going through it. I'd like a dark room. Unfortunately, don't have one.
